Bug Description
Binary package hint: virt-manager
Hello,
I'm following the advice I found here [http://
As my attached screenshot indicates, I am getting a persistent message that "Setup cannot read the CD you inserted." It should be noted that this error occurs as the XP setup is initiated, not after the first XP reboot, which is another bug [https:/
The CD Rom device is mounted and spinning...
This is a genuine copy of XP that I used before I converted to Ubuntu.
Alan,
Do you get this error when using this CD attempting to install on a machine directly or just when attempting to install it on a virtual machine? Is this copy of XP one that you purchased in a box or one that came with the computer?
Can you please try making an image of the CD-ROM using the following command:
$ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/windowsxp.iso
Then point virt-mnager to the ISO and let me know if you have the same issue.
