Windows 98 and Me do not work either despite the added USB support - this is because the QEMU mouse driver requires USB 1.1 and Windows 98/Me only supported 1.0 out of the box. QEMU also has some problems running Windows 95 itself - it tends to be glitchy at times and sometimes BSODs or crashes, but this happens rarely and its not unusable. In this video, you will see how to setup windows 98se as a KVM/qemu VM in unRAID. Not only that but we will pass through native hardware from back in the day.
Have legacy software that can't run in Wine or on newer versions of Windows? If you have a Windows 98 installation disc, you can install the operating system to a QEMU virtual machine. The CD should be for generic systems. If you got your copy from an OEM (like HP or Dell), they may not have included drivers that QEMU may need.
Virtual machine setup[edit]
If the CD included a boot floppy, you may need to use it; some CDs were not be designed to boot directly and only contain the materials needed to install the operating system. If you only have an unbootable CD, FreeDOS can be installed first in its place, and it can run the setup. You will want to rip your Windows 98 CD to an ISO image. Assuming it's been named win98.iso and placed in the same folder, it can then be ejected and stored back in its case.
You will need to create the image for the hard drive. This is where you'll install Windows to, and we'll be using QEMU's native qcow2 format. Common sizes are 512 MB (512M) and 1 GB (1G), but anything over 2 GB may prompt the setup to ask about large file system support, which you'll want to allow in that case.

Something interesting to note is that if your host system has enough memory to store the entire image in RAM, the installation and usage can be greatly sped up. On Windows, this can be done with ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver when mounting a raw image file and copying the image to the mounted drive. Mercedes 560sl repair manual.
-cdromallows us to use the ISO image. It's also possible to usevirshto forward a physical drive to a file, but reading the data from the hard drive is usually faster.-bootallows us to specify theorderto d, which is the CD.-driveallows us to use the image we just created.-enable-kvmturns on hardware acceleration in x86 using the kernel VM. KVM causes problems on Windows hosts when shutting down the guest and can even prevent it from starting in some cases. If this occurs, you can safely remove it from the command.-mallocates the guest's RAM. In this case we use 512, but going above it can be dangerous for Windows 9x.-deviceallows us to add a device driver, in this case, the Creative SoundBlaster 16 sound card (sb16) to get audio. Standard Windows 98 discs ship with drivers for it, and if you haven't used this flag while installing, it would need to scan for it.-displayallows us to use an alternative display engine rather than GTK+. In this case, we use Simple DirectMedia Layer because it doesn't conflict as much with fullscreen support. You can press Ctrl+Alt+F to enter and exit fullscreen mode and Ctrl+Alt to have QEMU grab or ungrab the keyboard input and invoke the monitor as usual.
By the end of the installation, you will boot without the CD, meaning the -cdrom and -boot flags can safely be removed.

Some programs require a higher color depth than the 16 colors provided by Windows 98 by default.

The default graphics card emulated by QEMU supports 32-bit color depth and resolutions through VBE 2.0, but Windows 98 does not provide drivers that support this.
A non-commercially licensed freeware driver can be used.

What is QEMU ?
QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a good emulation speed by using dynamic translation.
QEMU has two operating modes:
Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or to debug system code.
User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU.
As QEMU requires no host kernel driver to run, it is very safe and easy to use.
QEMU generic features
User space only or full system emulation.
Using dynamic translation to native code for reasonnable speed.
Working on x86 and PowerPC hosts. Being tested on ARM, Sparc32, Alpha and S390.
Self-modifying code support.
Precise exceptions support.
The virtual CPU is a library (libqemu) which can be used in other projects (look at `qemu/tests/qruncom.c' to have an example of user mode libqemu usage).
QEMU user mode emulation features
Generic Linux system call converter, including most ioctls.
clone() emulation using native CPU clone() to use Linux scheduler for threads.
Accurate signal handling by remapping host signals to target signals.
QEMU full system emulation features
QEMU can either use a full software MMU for maximum portability or use the host system call mmap() to simulate the target MMU.

Using Qemu On Windows
Installing QEMU in Debian
As a root user run the following command
#apt-get install qemu
This will complete the installation process.
Install windows XP inside QEMU
As qemu is a virtualization program it doesnt touch your real discs, instead you give it a big file and tell the system to use that for it's C:.
As a simple start we'll set aside a blank 2Gb file for Windows to install into, we can create that easily enough:
# dd of=newhdd.img bs=1024 seek=4000000 count=0
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.000493 seconds (0 bytes/sec)
That's given us a file called newhdd.img which is 4000000 bytes long, close enough to 4Gb for us to proceed.
The next thing we need to do is have a Windows XP CD-ROM handy, we have two choices here either place it in your CD-ROM drive, or use an ISO image.
We want to tell the system that it's first hard drive should be the big empty file we have just created, that the CD-ROM drive should be read from the drive we have - and that it should boot from CD-ROM.
# qemu -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda newhdd.img
QEMU 0.6.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
The '-boot d' flag tells the system to boot from the CD-ROM drive we've specified, the '-hda newhdd.img' tells the system that the first hard drive should be the contents of the file hd.img which we created previously.
This should bring up a window upon your desktop within which you'll see Windows boot. You can click in the window to give it focus, and when you wish to return the mouse to your desktop press 'Ctrl + Shift'. Speed exe nfs most wanted free download. Pressing Ctrl + Shift + f will toggle you between fullscreen and windowed mode.

Install Qemu On Windows
When it came to networking that Debian doesn't allow non-root users to write to the tun driver by default, as root run:
#chgrp users /dev/net/tun
#chmod g+w /dev/net/tun
(If you don't have that device file you will need to run these commands, this assumes you're running Kernel 2.6.x)
#mkdir -p /dev/net
#mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
Finally we add in the module to enable the device :
#modprobe tun
#echo 'tun' >> /etc/modules
Now that you're installed the operating system you can create a backup of the image by simply copying the 'newhdd.img' file which is being used as the disk drive:
#cp newhdd.img pristine.img
Any time you wish to restore back simply overwrite the newhdd.img with the pristine one - you'll never have to reinstall again!
Now that we've done the installation we can start the system for real with:
# qemu -hda newhdd.img -boot c
From bootup to login prompt takes me 39 seconds, which is pretty impressive.
Networking should be setup properly for you in the sense that on the host machine you will have the interface tun0 setup.
Once that's done you need to setup some way for the emulated machine to talk to the world, or it's host at least.
We chose to give the host machine an IP address on it's own network. We do this by first setting up an address on the host, then on the guest.
We use 172.20.0.1 for the host, and 172.20.0.2 for the Windows system.
On the host run:
# ifconfig tun0 172.20.0.1 up
Then on the host adjust the networking so that the Windows operating system has the ip address 172.20.0.2, with the gateway set to point to 172.20.0.1.
This should allow you to ping both the guest from the host, and vice versa.
