It is possible to run Winblows in Qemu with a Linux host. That said, the process includes installing and configuring Winblows to a virtual drive. I have never done it...sounds like a really hassle to me.

sometimes the best reason to try something is because it would be difficult.

(eg: i'm trying to run a MMORPG on DSL Embeded hosted on a Win98SE machine.  the outcome is that it's teaching me linux.  hopefully i'll be able to eventualy get the game going.  LOL)

Ok, guys, i managed to do the step i was trying to.  so this thread's subject is completed.  time for me to start my next one.  Heh.  noobs - don't we suck?

desnotes,

there was an excellent article on Linux Journal. This is offtopic here but the procedure was:

- create a 6 GB virtual drive with qemu-img.exe
- mount the winblows install cd as cdrom and the virtual drive as hda
- install
- enjoy the benefits of a full closed-source OS.

6GB in ram? or on the HD?
hum.... a file treated as a file by windows but as a drive by DLS would be nice.
It would be nice if i could move my ram drive onto my hard drive for increased space.
Where do i get this qemu-img.exe?

Waxy,

6GB is not in RAM but on your own drive. This was the size suggested by Linux Journal, but now we're going off topic.
