On RHEL 6 (*only*) you have to install the libguestfs-winsupport package from RHN. On Fedora and other distros, Windows guests are supported out of the box: $ virt-inspector -a /dev/vg_pin/WinXP | head <?xml version="1.0"?> <operatingsystems> <operatingsystem> <root>/dev/sda1</root> <name>windows</name> <arch>i386</arch> <distro>windows</distro> <product_name>Microsoft Windows XP</product_name> <major_version>5</major_version> <minor_version>1</minor_version> Is there any particular problem you're having?

I'm not very familiar with how libguestfs is packaged for Arch Linux, except that I helped them a bit on extending febootstrap for Arch. It could be that virt-inspector is not packaged at all, or that it's in a different package (in Fedora we split libguestfs over about a dozen packages). You'd have to ask the Arch maintainers -- could be Nikos Skalkotos, who is a subscriber to this list. > I did set up an area for guestfs successfully in virt-manager, but > was not able to figure out how to find it in Windows.

We can inspect any Windows guest since Windows XP, 32 or 64 bit. The only reason we don't support earlier than XP is no one has tried it. Rich.
