QuoteI decided to install Windows XP(wanted to palypaly some windoze gamez) to my unused 20gig partition on my laptop. I fire up TinyXP rev 09, all seems cool, but when i select the partition it tells me "there are no Windows XP compatible partition on your harddrive".
So I think OK, nevermind then, and reboot. But it turned out that Windows XP is worse then a jealous ex and ran away with my bootsector. So when I rebooted, it booted straight into my recovery partition instead of Linux :(

Up and running again now though, but what a fucked up installer that is..

your both cunts for talking linux here, especially since it seems you both need windows right now, ultimate humility :P

should also be possible "soon" with kvm if your hardware supports it (iommu, only found on some server-boards atm, but soon coming to budget-mobos).
