Windows 10: How to share data with virtual machine in qemu?

Hello,

Using Qemu, I created a virtual machine with Windows XP Professional SP3 x86.

However, how do I share a folder in Windows 10 so I can work with it in a virtual machine, please?


Thank you


PS.

qemu-kvm

virt-manager is the gui that can be used to do exactly this.

from the open source project:QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.

When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance.

When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.

 

Qemu HDA device non functional in Windows 10 1903

The device driver "HD Audio" got broken from 1809 to 1903 when the machine is a QEMU virtual machine.

The working driver is named:

10.0.17763.1 (WinBuild.160101.0800) from 14th sept 2018

The non-working driver is:

10.0.18362.1 (WinBuild.160101.0800) from 18th march 2019

There's also a filed bug report over at Qemu (Bug #1839060 “HDA device non functional in Windows 10 1903” : Bugs : QEMU), but I belive this is an error that Microsoft should address
and fix.

 

BSOD when launching Virtual Machine

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate your effort on this. I understand how difficult it could be when the computer doesn’t work as it is supposed to, we will look into this for you. Please reply with the following details to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting
steps:

• Which application are you using to create Virtual Machine?
  
• Does the issue occur only when launching a Virtual Machine?
  
• Have you reinstalled Windows on the computer?
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

I have analyzed the dump files shared by you. Since the issue occurs when you launch Virtual Machine, I suggest you to try disabling the VMWare USB Arbitration Service and check if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type services.msc and click on
   OK.
   
3. Look for the VMWare USB Arbitration Service and double click on it to open
   Properties.
   
4. Select Disabled from the drop down for
   Startup and Stop the service.
   
5. Click on Apply and OK.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
