[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#499718: [virt-manager] Impossible to install Windows

[Laurent Léonard]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.5.4-4
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I tried to install a VM with Windows, and when the machine reboot after the 
first stage of installation I got this message : 
"A disk read error occured
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
This message is specific to Windows. 

No problem to install Windows with KVM in command line. No problem to install 
GNU/Linux distributions with Virt-manager. 

To install a Windows VM, the following procedure works : 
- Launch KVM in command line
- Partition the disk
- Format a NTFS partition
- Stop KVM
- Use the disk image in Virt-manager without reformatting it
- Complete the installation procedure

After tried to install Windows in Virt-manager, I tried to install OpenSUSE 
11.0. No problem to install OpenSUSE but Anaconda was unable to resize the 
NTFS file system because it was corrupted...
