I try install WinXP to disk image over SAN. My host machine is also WinXP. For test use MS VPC2007. Try like this:
- integrate WinVBlock drivers with nLite to xp.iso (WVBlk32.sys and AoE32.sys from Sha0)
- in VPC create VHD disk 2300MB
- boot vm with this disk from win95 boot floppy disk and make one primary, active partition with fdisk and format c: (FAT32)
- boot vm Debian with this disk, make RAW image forsan.img with dd tool - Link and transfer over SAMBA to WinXP machine
- make with the same way other dummy.img image 1500MB for WinXP install
- mount forsan.img with OSFMount tool and copy on this: xp.iso, grldr and menu.lst
- with BOOTICE tool install GRUB4DOS in MBR image forsan.img
- on host OS run vBlade AoE server with forsan.img
- boot vm from iPXE, config network with dhcp net0 and sanboot aoe:e0.0
PC boot, runs GRUB4DOS and successfuly map /dummy.img (hd0) and map --mem /xp.iso (0xff), WinXP Setup start but display error:
