QtEmu 2.0 alpha help

I only know English, but google translator thinks you mean:
I have an existing XP partition, which I would like to incorporate into a QtEmu machine under Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
Is there a tool that can create from the existing partition ?einspielbares? / an installable image for QtEmu?

You can use "dd" to copy your XP partition directly to a raw format image. You can then convert the image to a qcow image in qtemu to enable suspend / resume and other features. There are other ways you could accomplish the same thing, but this is the process I would reccommend.

So, the specific command line you would use is this:

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=~/MyMachines/imagename.img
qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 ~/MyMachines/imagename.img ~/MyMachines/imagename.qcow

rm ~/MyMachines/imagename.img

replace /dev/sda1 with the actual partition you want to copy and make sure it is unmounted first! The image will be at ~/MyMachines/imagename.qcow

IMPORTANT:
This will use a fair amount of space (up to twice the size of your XP partition to run the above commands!), and so I would suggest booting into XP first, and running the defragment tool to make free space contiguous. Then you can use sdelete -c c:, still in windows, to zero out all your free space. Zeroing out the free space will make the image file take up less space, since qcow (and the Linux file system for raw images) deflate all the zeroes so they don't take up additional space. You can get sdelete here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897443.aspx.

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty and i have had the same problem. The solution:

apt-get install libvncserver-dev

Good luck
