These drivers works if you upgrade from previous version. But on clean install of winXP - at least virtio-blk (and maybe virtionet too, I don't remember) - can't be installed. There were several reports about this problem on IRC too, and the solution has been to use previous version of the drivers (where the directories are ok). I mean the drivers from .iso, and installing them _after_ the system has been installed already (install to IDE first, and add virtio drive as second drive). I installed fresh winXP just a few days ago and also hit this problem. /mjt
