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. -- Virtual XP install problem: Setup Cannot Recognize Disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
