Windows needs drivers for virtio installed. For IDE-disk and Network driver See link above
and http://www.linuxmuster.net/version3:winxp_und_kvm
Network driver:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:a6:fb:ab'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<model type='virtio'/> <<<<<<<<<<======== insert that line
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
Boot WindowsXP, and wait some minutes until WinXP detects a new hardware.
Install the virtio-driver from virtio-win-0.1-22.iso (fedora)
Disk driver:
Install virtio storage driver No 51.... . Add a new virtio disk. Format this
Disk. Change first disk (boot-Disk C) to virtio. Delete second disk. Shutdown Windows. Set
<disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source dev='/media/cdrom0'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/> ide ====>>>> virtio (hda to vda??)
<readonly/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/>
</disk>
Start Windows. Thats all.
