RE: W2K CD installation error on guest

Yes I can see the directory contents. I was able to get past this CDROM problem by disabling SELinux.

Lets test the image first.
So if you do the following

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/myimage.iso

then you should me able to mount it

mount -o loop /tmp/myimage.iso /mnt

If you do this can you see the directory structure in /mnt

Unfortunately it’s the same error as below. The file is definitely there.

The dd command is the issue,it's not going to produce a valid image.
Youlre seeking 4096k and reading one block.
Just do dd if=/dev/cdrom of=myimage.iso

Thanks, Andrew. I’ve been going this direction with no success. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

 

1. Copy CD ISO to Fedora system

      dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/w2k3.iso bs=1024 seek=4096k count=1

 

1. Edit config file /etc/xen/w2k3virt1

      disk = [ ‘file:/xen/w2k3virt1,hda,w’, ‘file:/home/w2k3.iso,hdc:cdrom,r’, ]

1. xm create –c w2k3virt1

Check the virtual machine settings and see if the CD is still configured.
For example if you're w2k iso is in /opt/disks then make sure you have something like the following


disk = [ 'file:/ .. your harddisk image ....', 'file:/opt/disks/w2k.iso,hdc:cdrom,r', ]

I’ve been trying to install W2K on Fedora Core 6. I found a previous post that recommended using “Standard PC” and this helped me get past the original problem with a hung black screen. The next problem I’m running into is that once the Windows installer boots and begins the “Installing Windows” step, I immediately get this error window:

 

Setup was unable to access files need to continue. This could be caused by an error on the CD Media or the CD is no longer present in the drive.

 

Any advice?

Thanks,

Ed Jimison
