The result is that it takes host CPU cycles even when idle. You can install the utility from @url{http://www.user.cityline.ru/~maxamn/amnhltm.zip} to solve this problem.

The +workaround is to stop QEMU as soon as you notice that your disk image +size is growing too fast (monitor it with @code{ls -ls}). Then +relaunch QEMU to continue the installation. If you still experience +the problem, relaunch QEMU again. + +Future QEMU releases are likely to correct this bug. + +@subsubsection Windows XP security problems + +Some releases of Windows XP install correctly but give a security +error when booting: +@example +A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the +license for this computer.
