<div>If you've created the XP machine in
VBox it's easy that it has been configured with IDE channel. So
it's a matter of controller if BSOD, not matter of QCOW2 or RAW
image.<br>
<br>
to boot in ONE just set DEV_PREFIX="hda" in the template or in the
image of your xp machine.<br>
<br>
if still not booting check if you uninstalled the VBoxTools before
converting it.<br>
<br>
if you want (and you better do so if you want a bit of
performance) switch to virtio controller for storage you have to
do the following steps (in order to let the "poor" xp load
correctly the drivers)<br>
<br>
- boot xp using DEV_PREFIX="hd" in order to test if it works
correctly<br>
- shutdown and add any image (eg: a cdrom) with virtio
"DEV_PREFIX=vd"<br>
- when it loads XP will find a new hardware and ask you for
drivers: load them from the virtio cdrom <a href="http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/" target="_blank">http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/</a>
this will let XP know how to access a VirtIO SCSI drive in boot
phase<br>
- shutdown after installing drivers, remove the "fake image" you
used with vd prefix, and change DEV_PREFIX=""vd" for the WinXP
System drive image<br>
- instantiate and enjoy xp with virtio<br>
<br>
<br>
bye<br>
<br>
(this works for win 7 too)<br>

<div>Hi,<div><div class="h5"><br>
<br>
I also have deployed Windows 7 qcow2 format on OpenNebula
without the any problem.<br>
which I used VirtualBox to create the image first and convert
it from .vdi to .qcow2 using qemu-utils. <br>
<br>
May I know how to use IDE instead?<br>
<br>
PS: I have tried using both qcow2 and raw format but still
blue screen. The Blue screen appears shortly after the Windows
XP loading bar splash screen.<br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have some experience on Windows machines,
and all are running on qcow2 without problems.
When does exactly the VM blue screen appears?
While not discarding a qemu problem, Windows
OS is very sensible to hardware changes and
the problem can be at the loading drivers
step, which are not part of the new system. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have two suggestions:</div>
<div>- Try to replicate Virtualbox hardware as
close as possible on OpenNebula and boot in
Safe Mode</div>
<div>- Try to install a clean image on
OpenNebula to check XP compatibility</div>
<div><br>

<div>Dear All,<br>
<br>
</div>
I was trying to install
Windows XP in VirtualBox and
convert it to qcow2.<br>
<br>
</div>
After I upload the qcow2 image
to OpenNebula and instantiate
the template,<br>
</div>
the image goes BSOD while in
Virtualbox, the VM works fine.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I done some google and found
out that there was some bug in
qemu which cause this [1].<br>
</div>
<div>Is there any possible
solutions to this? Please help
advise.<br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
Thank you<br>
</div>
Best regards<br>
