Hi Michael, Thank you for prompt response. I am having SATA HDD and in BIOS - SATA is configured as RAID. With that configuration i had installed Windows 7. How can i prepare it to boot from PIIXE IDE controller? Strange thing is - I am getting Windows XP activation error when i qemu-kvm XP, standalone XP works fine. For Windows 7, i can see Windows 7 startup logo screen then blue screen appears. Do you think qemu should work if not qemu-kvm? Also, is there standalone kvm package/utility which i can try? Thanks once again, Satish.
