Hey community,

i try to install Windows 7 on my Qubes 4.0 OS.

I following the thread on the main site.

The HVM Domain i created successfully and now i try to install Windows 7 on it.

The DVD (OEM Version) is in my DVD drive.

With following command i try to install the Windows OS.

qvm-start my-new-vm --cdrom=/dev/cdrom

After this command i became following message "not enough values to unpack"

With fdisk -l i searched for the drive, but the permission denied.

I think that i used the wrong path?

About your help i very happy.

regards

You are looking at the instructions for R3.2. Try the ones for R4.0.

Hey folks,

i created the HVM Windows VM successfully, yesterday.


Now i try to bind the Iso file into the VM.

My HVM VM name is Windows7-Professional-64Bit

The name of the Iso is windows7_64bit.iso. The image i download to my VM "Domin:work-> Downloads.

When i type the command qvm-start --cdrom=untrusted:/home/downloads/windows7_64bit.iso i become this error message

Failed to setup loop device for /home/downloads/windows7_64bit.iso

The other commands of the main site i try, too. Then the command promd says HVM allready run.Mh, i understand that the vm runs(qvm-start) but i cant fill the Iso into my VM.

Can someone help?

regards and thanks very much.
