Uwe Hermann - HOWTO: Install Windows XP in Debian using QEMU - Comments

Installation of win xp is

Installation of win xp is kinda slow and it slows linux too, its weird, my processor is running slowly (its not because its hot i checked it, 48ºc), and the memory is not satured (46% of 256MB). At slow cpu usage and not full memory linux at least has to work faster.

I tried to install both,

I tried to install both, WinXP Professional and WinXP Professional SP2. Both install and boot just fine. I didn't notice such a problem. I didn't try Win XP Home Edition (lack of install CD).

I was looking for this trick

I was looking for this trick and finally found this one, I wil try it later.
I've installed Parallels Workstation and VirtualBox but they both failed to install.

Thanks man..

Please ask on the QEMU mailing list.

Doubts regarding QEMU emulator

Reynold P J — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 12:01:18 +0200

Hello Hermann,
I've installed QEMU and it works properly in Kubuntu. But there are problems with the dvd drivers,I am unable to access the dvd device.Is there any solution for this , if yes please reply.

Qemu may be also faster

Qemu may be also faster - if you use a kqemu kernel module.

And if you have a modern CPU which is capable of hardware virtualization, using KVM (kernel virtual machine) will make your guests even faster.

Thanks a lot!

Slow

Possible yes, installing in QEMU is not too fast.

Uwe.

Hi Thanks a lot! Works

Thanks a lot! Works great, except, is it normal for the part of the install where Windows detects and installs all your hardware to take a REALLY long time?

Bye

My cpu load is barely 6% on an average, while installing xp sp2 in qemu!!!

Yes, i also think like you he should check that

QEMU slowness

Uwe Hermann — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 14:22:55 +0100

Well, sure, it's not exactly very fast, but it's enough for me usually. Did you check CPU load (usually near 100% for me when QEMU is running)? Maybe the hard disk is used a lot in your scenario?

HOWTO: Install Windows XP in Debian using QEMU

Uwe Hermann — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 15:40:04 +0200

This is more or less a reminder for me, most of you will probably already know how to do it...

Install QEMU:
apt-get install qemu
Create a (resizable) image which will hold Windows XP. The installer chokes if the image is smaller than 1.2 GB or so, but that's not too much of a problem; the "qcow" image format will only take up as much space as is really needed, so the image will be very small in the beginning (not 1.2 GB big!).
qemu-img create -f qcow /path/to/xp.cow 1300M
Insert the install CD, and install Windows in the QEMU image:
qemu -hda /path/to/xp.cow -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom -m 384 -localtime
Wait.
After the install has finished, shut down the QEMU/Windows; from now on you can boot it (without having to insert the CD anymore) with:
qemu -hda /path/to/xp.cow -boot c -m 384 -localtime -k de -usb

Type "qemu -h" for more options.
