he was right. I'm trying to get WindowsXP to run in qemu. I'm on *BSD 
systems, but my home computer I mainly use is DragonFlyBSD. I've installed 
the latest qemu in ports. I'm trying to install again, but its slow as 
molasses. I believe my problem was the growing image puking on me after 
windows install with a ''read error'' which would happen after install. I'm 
trying 'raw' image type now. Will update with information when done. Thanks
