I'm curious how you got it to work. I created a blank disk
image using bximage, then ran qemu with the appropriate
switches and pointed it at the new disk image and an ISO
image of a Win2K CD. The 2K installer started working
properly, but it quickly gave me an error message saying
that it couldn't find a hard disk.

If you don't mind, could you pass along the steps you've
taken to get qemu working with Windows images?

Thanks,
Steve
