Thanks for the suggestion. I've successfully installed on a new qcow2 image.
Strangely all of my xp raw images no longer work. That makes me think
that this is more than just a corrupt image.
I've been using kvm for several years with raw images, so I don't think
the BIOS could be a factor either.
If there's a way to get my raw images to work, that would be nice. I'm
trying to convert one of the raw images to qcow2 -- perhaps that will work.

Thanks. In pursuing this suggestion I discovered that I also can't
make new XP VMs. Setup fails with "the disk may be damaged".
The image was created with
qemu-img create xp_new.img 13G
And the setup command is
kvm -cdrom xp/xp_pro.iso -hda xp_new.img -boot d -m 512 -no-acpi -usb
-usbdevice tablet
What happens if you use a new qcow2 disk? Does it fail in the same way?
