Hardy - Virtualisation with Windows

Hello,

I have been spending the last few hours working to try and get windows 
to install on a virtual machine in Hardy. I have made an ISO of the 
windows media which I own and put that in the folder. I then go

virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n fanta -r 512 -f fanta.img -s 12 
-c /tmp/en_win_srv_2003_r2_standard_vl_cd1.iso --vnc --accelerate 
--noautoconsole --os-type windows --os-variant win2k

I have tried several different variants all being vista/xp/win2k all of 
which fail. It seems to just hang when its trying to boot from "hard 
disk" even though I have specified CDROM as the boot method in 
virt-manager.

Has anyone seen this issue in the past or could anyone give me further 
advice.

Regards,

Jimmy
