+description = """Hiren's Bootcd PE LiveCD not booting up in windows qemu.  
+PE stands for pre-execution environment which is like a minimal boot environment like windows-recovery.  
+The ram drive it makes is about 3.5 GiB.  
+Being able to boot something like Hiren BootCD PE is like a simple test of qemu.   
+
+I've tried many things, but I can't figure out if it's because I can't get the arguments right or if it is because of something else.
+ 
+So far, using windows-qemu, I have not tried to boot a win10-guest-OS on win10 host-OS."""
+reproduce = """1. Try to start qemu as per command. Try figure out what the right arguments/options are.
+
+The live cd boot process is as follows
+1. First the livecd bootloader loads files from the cdrom and unpacks them into a ramdrive
+   During this phase, in the taskmgr it can be seen that the memory of the qemu process grows to about 1.5 GiB
+2. Then the boot process should transfer to the unpacked OS in the ramdrive.  
+   In the center of the screen, if one is doing efi-boot, then one can see the tianocore logo, else if one is doing legacy boot, then one can see the windows logo.  
+   The windows loading animation, dots in circle, does not start. In some boot attempts, it seems to have put only 1 dot, in other boot attempts nothing at all.  
+   Even after the expansion phase, the qemu process in the taskmgr shows a 11% use (which 1 cpu in a hyperthreading i7 quadcore cpu).  
+   This means emulator is doing something. But, despite waiting for a long time, nothing seems to happen in the guest-display-window.

+- method to create the bios file is explained in #2233 
+- I have booted into v1.0.2 in native, so I know v1.0.2 works.  
+- I have tried qemu with and without EFI bios. 
+- The more recent v1.0.8 released on 20240305 is Win11 PE based (>22621)
+- Virtualbox-7.0.14 is able to boot HBCDPE as normal, but with EFI disabled, and not when enabled.  
+- As of this issue creation, not yet checked whether under Linux if qemu-kvm can boot HBCDPE."""
