The forum admin told me my post was probably completely overlooked because of the subject so I am changing it and resending this request for help.
I would really like to be able to make my Dell stock image work in a VM under Linux so I can run Linux as the host and only access the Dell stock Windows 10 image when I need it. Thank you, in advance! From: The PowerTool <thepowertool_sc hotmail com>
Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2017 5:34 PM To: gnome-boxes-list gnome org Subject: New Dell Image I just purchased a new Dell system with 2 drives (SSD for OS & 2nd 2TB data drive).
I booted to a Fedora Live image (USB) and images the SSD to obtain the pre-boot-image. I also imaged the 2nd data drive on GP and in case Windows 10 kept something important, there).
I'd like to now use my dell image (from the SSD) in boxes so I can access my dell windows 10 environment safely from within a virtual environment. I don't want an alt-boot system. I only want to boot to Linux.
I pointed gnome-boxes to my SSD image file and it now appears to be stuck on "booting from hard disk". ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
~]$ uname -aFedora release 25 (Twenty Five) Linux mysystem 4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 8 18:46:06 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I would have expected qemu-system-x86_64.
I am not very familiar with secure boot. Can I make this work? It's definitely trying to do something at 101.3% CPU.
Any help and pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |
