Delete the second (virtio) disk and remove it (it's not needed).Drivers are in V:\viostor\WXp\ (it looks like only x86 is currently available, as of ). Go through the same process for the virtio scsi controller.Finish the driver installation, click Continue when asked if you want to install an unsigned driver. Point the drivers to V:\NetKVM\XP\ (where is either amd64 or x86). Click next and verify its looking for the ethernet controller. Go back to the "found new hardware wizard".Locate the virtio iso, right-click on it and click Select drive letter & mount.Leave this window open, you need to mount the virtio driver iso first. The "found new hardware wizard" should appear.Add a hard disk, select qcow2 (faster creation than raw) as the format and virtio as the bus.Add an ethernet device, and select virtio as the model.In the Proxmox web admin, click on the VM, and then on it's Hardware tab. You may need it outside of this original setup. Note: It's a good idea to leave this iso stored inside your VM.Download the latest virtio-win iso from the Fedora Project into the Windows XP VM.Download and install wincdemu inside the XP guest.Boot the XP VM and verify that Internet access works.These are both recognized by default on Windows XP. Build your Windows XP VM using the IDE disk driver and the rtl8139 NIC driver. Below are (rough) steps to switching to the Red Hat virtio drivers in a Windows XP guest. The IDE driver works OK for locally stored VMs, but performance will degrade significantly when accessing disk files over the network. When you build an XP guest VM, chances are you use the IDE driver to get up and running right away. Use these notes at your own risk and always take backups of your VM's before attempting any system level modifications like these. IMPORTANT: I've tried to be as accurate as possible, but I'm doing a "brain dump" very quickly. Changing your drive from IDE/SATA to VIRTIO may causing blue dead screen Windows, so please make a Backup first!
