I am trying to install Win2k8 Std as a KVM guest on Debian Squeeze.
As you can see from these screen shots;
I have had this error code before but only on a physical server. If I remember correctly it was complaining because the disks were partitioned as GPT (because it was a server that was being re-purposed) so repartitioning with an MS-DOS table fixed that. This is a blank disk image though. What is wrong here, and how can I correct this?
Thank you.
UPDATE
I have booted the VM with a Gparted-Live disk and formatted this volume with an MS-DOS partitioning scheme, and a single 20GB NTFS file system. Now when I boot the Win2k8 CD, load my drivers, I get a different error. As you can see at the bottom of screenshot6
"Windows cannot be installed on this hard drive space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS".
Clicking format produces the error (0x80004005) on the screen, so I think this is still a driver issue because Windows can see the drive but not interact with it properly. Is that insane thinking?
That (VERY UNHELPFUL) error means you forgot to put the Windows install disk back in.
After a LOT of Googling, I learned that 0x80070013 means: The media is write-protected.
Make sure you didn't set the hard drive as read-only when you configured the virtual machine.
The way I did it is the following:
I overwritten the disk image (when the VM was down) by hand just to be sure.
qemu-img create -f raw disk0 40G
I chose ide as a disk type.
After completing the install I mounted the CD with virtio drivers and added a new disk with a virtio type.
# socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/ganeti/kvm-hypervisor/ctrl/somehost.monitor
(qemu) pci_add auto storage file=somedisk,if=virtio
The new hardware found dialog came up and I installed the driver successfully.
