Windows 7 Fully Offline Install -- Trouble With Updating

[random1]

Running

qvm-features <vmname> stubdom-qrexec 1 

in a dom0 terminal will allow usb devices to be attached to the qube, regardless of it there are tools installed it it.

If you have a usb drive, you could use it, otherwise this comment details how to mount a file from another qube as a block device:

Windows without QWT

Yes, it works for me for gnu/linux qubes and Windows qube (with QWT, but it can be irrelevant). Mostly the same way as you said: in linuxqube: create file of some size, e.g. file /home/user/mydisk with size 10GiB sudo losetup --show /dev/loop5 /home/user/mydisk After that you should see a new block device in Qubes Device tray widget. in dom0: qvm-block attach windowsqube linuxqube:loop5 Alternative - attach with GUI widget, but I use script. Now I have a new disk in Windows that I can…

I believe you will still need to run the above command for this to work.

I also remember reading a thread about mounting the root volume of one qube as a block device on another, but i can’t seem to find that one.
