[Bug 485807] Re: XP guest installs but gives BSoD on reboot unless in safe mode

[TenaciousC]

If XP is booted from CD and recovery console used to run chkdsk /p ,
errors are found and fixed. On reboot, XP will now start.

If XP is restarted then it will restart OK.

If XP is shutdown, the VM does not power off, stops at "It is not safe
to turn off computer screen".  Turn of using VM Shutdown button.

An error occurs:
Error Shutting down domain : operation failed : could not query memory balloon allocation.
Details:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 507, in shutdown_domain
    vm.shutdown()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 551, in shutdown
    self._update_status()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 202, in _update_status
    info = self.vm.info()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 530, in info
    if ret is None: raise libvirtError ('virDomainGetInfo() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: operation failed: could not query memory balloon allocation

After which, VM will get BSoD on restart as described above
