I'm trying to install xp virtual machine from an .iso on the disk, I have a virtual machine called localhost with qemu as ID. It has a storage area at /var/lib/libvirt/images, i'm right clicking on that and choosing new then following the wizard but it keeps failing whilst creating the domain. Is anyone familiar with this scenario or have any suggestions?
regards Tim

The above messages don't help.
Try looking at the files in /root/.virtmanager/ and/or /var/log/libvirt/
Rich.
