Hello

I have a problem installing Windows XP Pro in a debian lenny amd64 distribution.

I can make the following steps, without problems.

1) Create the disk with qemu-img <flie>
2) kvm -hda <file> -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d -no-acpi -m 384

The windows installation makes the basic installation just fine. But when it reboots, to continue the installation, I get and error:

"One of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.

The parameter is incorrect.

Error:
Installation Failed: D:\I386\asms Error Message. The parameter is incorrect."

Does anyone of you have suggestions to that is going wrong here?

I don't know for sure, but everytime I've seen that problem arise from a standard XP install, it's been due to bad juju from your windows installer. Are you sure it's a clean disc or set of files??

I've not tried the particular install you are doing, but I do fix Winders on a day to day basis.

I have been able to install another pc with the same cd, so I think the cd should be ok.

Hello All

After alot of retries, I found the solution. I made some different cd copy methods of the windows installation cd-rom, and suddently it work.
