Where is my Windows XP hard drive image located?

Well, I followed this guide and I made QEMU emulate windows xp. Now I just need to know where it's located so I can make a few adjustments to the operating system. This is the code I typed to get it started in the first place.

Code:
qemu -localtime -cdrom /dev/cdrom -m 384 -boot d windows.img
Sorry if this isn't enought help.

If you ran that command in a terminal, and it ran successfully Windows XP the chances are you have a Windows XP hard disk image in your home directory - the name is as above; windows.img

However if you changed directory before running this command then the image file would be in the location you changed to. If you want to edit the image be careful as it is easy to damage them. I think you should be able to mount the image directly using [code]mkdir ~/windowsmount
sudo mount -o loop -t ntfs-3g windows.img ~/windowsmount[/co]you have created a directory in your home called windowsmount above and mounted the image there.

There's a GUI for QEMU called qemu-launcher. It uses GTK+ and should make things much easier for you.
