This page is about features that have been removed from QEMU (after a deprecation period), and what new features should be used instead.
Microsoft Windows - 'IOCTLDISKGETDRIVEGEOMETRYEX' Kernel partmgr Pool Memory Disclosure. Dos exploit for Windows platform. Besides, it is also a hard drive manager that you can use to repartition hard drive, convert partition between FAT32 and NTFS safely, etc. If you need to convert MBR to GPT on Windows Server, the AOMEI Partition Assistant Server supports Windows Server 2003, 2008 (R), 2012 (R), 2016. Never make a plane from a solid face! Reason being is that if the solid changes, it can affect the plane which can snowball into a huge mess of errors. (for managers) Never purchase Catia, and expect to implement it, and get full functionality, without TRAINING, and I mean professional training. Invalid drive geometry RECOMMENDED: If you have Windows errors then it's highly recommended that you download and install this Windows Repair Tool. I have tried a bunch and the only reuse as storage drives. 500 gig WD sata drive. Found an old drive that i would like to one that reads the drive is victoria 4.3.
Removed command line parameters
| Parameter | Deprecated in | Removed in | Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| -balloon | v2.12.0 | v3.1.0 | The -balloon option has been replaced by -device virtio-balloon. |
| -bootp | v2.6.0 | v3.1.0 | The -bootp /some/file argument is replaced by either -netdev user,id=x,bootp=/some/file (for pluggable NICs, accompanied with -device …,netdev=x), or -nic user,bootp=/some/file (for embedded NICs). The new syntax allows different settings to be provided per NIC. |
| -drive serial=r -drive trans=t -drive secs=s -drive heads=h -drive cyls=c -drive addr=a | v2.10.0 | v3.0.0 | The drive geometry should now be specified via -device …,drive=dr,cyls=c,heads=h,secs=s,bios-chs-trans=t,addr=a,serial=r (together with -drive if=none,id=dr,…). |
| -hdachs | v2.10.0 | v2.12.0 | The geometry defined by -hdachs c,h,s,t should now be specified via -device ide-hd,drive=dr,cyls=c,heads=h,secs=s,bios-chs-trans=t (together with -drive if=none,id=dr,…). |
| -localtime | v2.12.0 | v3.1.0 | Replaced by -rtc base=localtime |
| -net channel | v2.6.0 | v2.12.0 | Option has been replaced by -net user,guestfwd=… |
| -net dump | v2.10.0 | v2.12.0 | -net dump[,vlan=n][,file=filename][,len=maxlen] has been replaced by -object filter-dump,id=id,netdev=dev[,file=filename][,maxlen=maxlen]. Note that the new syntax works with netdev IDs instead of the old 'vlan' hubs. |
| -net …,vlan=x | v2.9.0 | v3.0.0 | To connect one NIC frontend with a network backend, either use -nic … (e.g. for on-board NICs) or use -netdev …,id=n together with -device …,netdev=n (for full control over pluggable NICs). To connect multiple NICs or network backends via a hub device (which is what vlan did), use -nic hubport,hubid=x,… or -netdev hubport,id=n,hubid=x,… (together with -device …,netdev=n) instead. |
| -nodefconfig | v2.11.0 | v3.1.0 | Use -no-user-config instead. |
| -no-kvm-irqchip | v1.3.0 | v3.0.0 | Use -machine kernel_irqchip=off instead. |
| -no-kvm-pit | v1.3.0 | v2.12.0 | There is no replacement, since this was just a dummy option that has been ignored. |
| -no-kvm-pit-reinjection | v1.3.0 | v3.0.0 | Use -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard instead. |
| -redir | v2.6.0 | v3.1.0 | The -redir [tcp|udp]:hostport:[guestaddr]:guestport argument is replaced by either -netdev user,id=x,hostfwd=[tcp|udp]:[hostaddr]:hostport-[guestaddr]:guestport (for pluggable NICs, accompanied with -device …,netdev=x) or -nic user,hostfwd=[tcp|udp]:[hostaddr]:hostport-[guestaddr]:guestport (for embedded NICs). The new syntax allows different settings to be provided per NIC. |
| -rtc-td-hack | v2.12.0 | v3.1.0 | Use -rtc driftfix=slew instead. |
| -smb | v2.6.0 | v3.1.0 | The -smb /some/dir argument is replaced by either -netdev user,id=x,smb=/some/dir (for pluggable NICs, accompanied with -device …,netdev=x), or -nic user,smb=/some/dir (for embedded NICs). The new syntax allows different settings to be provided per NIC. |
| -startdate | v2.12.0 | v3.1.0 | Replaced by -rtc base=date. |
| -tdf | v1.3.0 | v2.12.0 | There is no replacement, the -tdf option has just been ignored since the behaviour that could be changed by this option in qemu-kvm is now the default when using the KVM PIT. It still can be requested explicitly using -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard. |
| -tftp | v2.6.0 | v3.1.0 | The -tftp /some/dir argument is replaced by either -netdev user,id=x,tftp=/some/dir (for pluggable NICs, accompanied with -device …,netdev=x), or -nic user,tftp=/some/dir (for embedded NICs). The new syntax allows different settings to be provided per NIC. |
| -vnc …,tls=… -vnc …,x509=… -vnc …,x509verify=… | v2.5.0 | v3.1.0 | The 'tls-creds' option should be used instead to point to a 'tls-creds-x509' object created using '-object' |
Removed HMP commands
| Parameter | Deprecated in | Removed in | Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| usb_add and usb_remove | v2.10.0 | v2.12.0 | Replaced by device_add and device_del (use device_add help for a list of available devices) |
| host_net_add and host_net_remove | v2.10.0 | v2.12.0 | Replaced by netdev_add and netdev_del |
Removed devices
| Device | Deprecated in | Removed in | Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| ivshmem | v2.6.0 | v4.0.0 | Replaced by either the ivshmem-plain or ivshmem-doorbell |

I have a Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB drive WDC WD20EARS-00J2GB0 (WD-WCAYY0004653) that has been corrupted in a machine I have that continuously BSODs. Chkdsk says it cannot check this drive because of a corrupt MFT.I ran TestDisk on a different machine and the quick search found nothing, but the deep search found the partition. It was formatted as a single 2TB NTFS partition, but the output references FAT16 as well as HPFS - NTFS.
What is the next step? Do I Repair An NTFS MFT as outlined under http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Advanced ... n_NTFS_MFT?
Invalid Drive Geometry Game
The output in the command window is:
