Hello,
When I am converting my Windows2000.qcow2 disk image to the .img format using qemu-img, I can't load win 2000 from this disk image file. Load process breaks after boot screen (logo win 2000) whith a stop screen and 0x0000007B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error

When I am converting my WindowsNT4.vhd disk image to the .img format using qemu-img too, WinNT4.img disk loads with folowing steps:

  • booting normally until message "1 System Processor [128 MB Memory] ..." is displaying
  • then displays "Checking filesystem on C: ... WARNING! Your drive maybe corrupt. Please let AUTOCHK run ..."
  • then auto runs CHKDSK and displays "File and directory verification completed"
  • and then load process continues BUT VERY VERY SLOW

During this process (about 5 .. 10 min) all counters are freezed
IDE device (HDA or CDROM)
Sectors read: 24282 <---freezed
Bytes read: 12432384 <---freezed
Sectors written: 4593 <---freezed
Bytes written: 2351616 <---freezed
Status: Idle
then displays graphical boot screen logo WinNT4 with winlogon password window ... and all freeze again

I had this bug, too #433
Try to use default Windows NT SP1 without SP6, but it will require patch here

About windows 2000, for me it is as booting as well, but I have this bug in Windows NT 3.51.
In other emulators it can be fixed by attaching an cdrom (it can be empty), but I can't do that here due #463

Thank you for your comment.
About WinNT4, I will try to do, but Win2000 more needs for me now. Do you have a link to download correct win2000 image disk for copy.sh emulator? Profile (http://copy.sh/v86/?profile=windows2000) doesn't have "Get Disk Image" button. What about Win2000 Server(It most interested)? Have you tried to run it in copy.sh? In my opinion, if Win2000Prof boots well then Win2000Server should do it too, because they have same kernels.

I've created disk image.
Here is a Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

Исходя из вашего профиля, предполагаю Вы, возможно говорите по-русски, а у меня с английским не все так просто :), поэтому не всегда получается полностью выразить то что хочешь по-английски. А хочется действительно поблагодарить Вас за то что Вы дали даже больше чем можно было ожидать - готовый работающий в copy.sh образ Winsows 2000 Sever (без глюков, у меня он работает даже шустрее чем http://copy.sh/v86/?profile=windows2000) , да еще и Advanced Server! Я уж какие только образы не перебирал, переконвертировал т. д. и ничего не запускалось. Ясно только что какой-то глюк с CD-ROM, как только выбираешь что-то в поле "CD Image" (любой файл даже необязательно правильный образ iso) так сразу же огромные "тормоза" и HDD, с которого только что загружался, вдруг становится No bootable device. Вообщем, еще раз Большое Спасибо, да, и конечно же за подсказки по Windows NT4
