Re : [Qemu-devel] A disk read error occurred

[Sylvain Petreolle]

As you may know, floppy disks formatted with XP are able to load NTLDR on the 
hard disk.
After getting the same error with XP SP2 image, I now always boot the VM with a 
floppy disk,
no more error at all :)

 
Kind regards,
Sylvain Petreolle (aka Usurp)
