Hi,

These days when creating and installing Windows virtual machines, I tend
to use ISO images for the install process.

Windows 7 ISO images can be downloaded from:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows7

If you wished to skip 7 and go with a clean install of Windows 10 and
use your 7 key, you can get 10 ISO images from:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10ISO

With regard choosing USB. I choose USB 3 for Windows virtual machines as
I have been getting locks when selecting and using the USB 2 setting.

The drivers for your Windows guest should/will be primarily VirtIO.
These can be downloaded from:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Windows_Virtio_Drivers#Direct_download

A note on your previous mail. I have had issues adding USB devices (e.g.
USB sticks) in running virtual machines. Removing any USB redirectors
fixed it for me.

Regards

Phil Wyett

Let me look through the bits and see where we are and get this process
started up. We'd need to get some basic testing done, and then we can
promote it a bit.

is the docker-1.10 stack completely in-place replacement/upgrade from
the existing distro hosted docker ( 1.8.2 ? )

regards

[CentOS-virt] can't mount a bootable flash drive

2016-03-04 Thread ToddAndMargo

Hi All,

Scientific Linux 7.2

# rpm -qa \*kvm\*
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-105.el7_2.3.x86_64
pcp-pmda-kvm-3.10.6-2.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-common-1.5.3-105.el7_2.3.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.2.17-13.el7_2.3.x86_64

I can mount NTFS flash drives on my Windows virtual machines
by Add Hardware -> USB Host Device.  They work fine.

Except for one bootable Windows 7 Pro OEM x 64 USB flash drive
I use for installing Windows 7.  In Windows, under devices
I get a bang mark saying the device failed to start.

This same flash drive, when set as the bootable drive
does boot into the Windows 7 install dialog.

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks,
-T
