Re: [Qemu-devel] Installing a guest WXP on a MacOS X host

[Alexandre Tolmos]

Guys I'm really sorry. I've just found out that this particular WXP  
installation CD I have isn't bootable... I had one bootable XP CD but  
it seems I lost it.

Is there any trick I could use to bootstrap the installer ?
