I was following Keiki's instructions and got stuck on the Debian image. Although I installed it successfully; I just can't see it on my hard drive (using Windows). I can check it with qemu-img but it is simply not there.

The image is probably at H:\Program Files\qemu\C:/debian.img
(windows path), if anywhere. I think you have mixed up the /
s and \
s - probably in this step:
- Create image using
qemu-img.exe create -f qcow2 G:\debian.img 1500M
(smaller size should be suffient too).
Make sure you use \
s in the path not /
s - Windows paths use \
, and are usually relative to the disk they are on - e.g:
On windows systems
Path to folder on root (C) filesystem
C:\Program Files\
Path to file on a mounted volume
D:\work\stuff.odt
Linux systems use /
On Unix/Linux systems (like Raspbian)
Path to folder on root (C) filesystem
/usr/share/
Path to file on a mounted volume
/run/media/WORKUSB/work/stuff.odt
Other things:
./
current directory (linux) (proably%CD%
on Windows)file:///run/media/WORKUSB/work/stuff.odt

Already thought of that as well but nothing's in there either.mystery– mystery2015年08月08日 19:41:29 +00:00Commented Aug 8, 2015 at 19:41

If you still have a cmd prompt in the window with qemu info, try using the windows copy command to copy the file to where you can see it (perhaps
copy /v C:/debian.img C:\debian.img
). The file may also be hiddenWilf– Wilf2015年08月08日 19:51:15 +00:00Commented Aug 8, 2015 at 19:51 -
The file cannot be found in both direcotires (C:\ and qemu in \program files)mystery– mystery2015年08月08日 22:37:00 +00:00Commented Aug 8, 2015 at 22:37
