The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another
system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be
closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state
back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as
"Expired". Or mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a
newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
** Changed in: qemu
Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
Windows NT 4.0 fails to boot from qcow2 installation
Status in QEMU:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Windows NT 4.0 will not boot from an installation more than once if
installed in a qcow2 image file. A quick fix to this problem is to use
the qcow format instead.
Steps to reproduce this issue:
Create the image file:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 winnt4.qcow2 1G
Boot from a Windows NT 4.0 Workstation CD:
qemu-system-i386 -hda winnt4.qcow2 -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d -m 128 -cpu
pentium -vga cirrus
During the installation process you have the choise between FAT and
NTFS. You can pick anyone.
After finishing the installation the guest will reboot to install
additional items. Once this is done the guest will be bootable. Eject
any CD media from QEMU and reboot. You will then see Windows NT 4.0
booting up to the desktop. Go to "Start->Shut down" to shut down. Then
when Windows is ready quit QEMU.
Now try to boot using this command:
qemu-system-i386 -hda winnt4.qcow2 -boot c -m 128 -cpu pentium -vga cirrus
The BIOS screen will display an error message:
For NTFS:
Booting from Hard Disk...
A disk read error occurred.
Insert a system diskette and restart
the system.
For FAT:
No bootable device.
Additional information:
qemu-system-i386 version: 2.10.1
qemu-img version: 2.10.92 (v2.11.0-rc4-dirty)
If you don't have a Windows NT 4.0 Workstation installation CD, you may
