My point was ...

If you have the cdrom (and, or course, the license key), it's really a no
brainer. Install off the cdrom WITHIN virt-manager into an image file, is
straight forward. QEMU if you don't have VT support, KVM if you do. All this
nonsense about mbr and grub and what not earlier this thread is completely
irrelevant because you're installing into a vm. The file itself *becomes* the "C
drive" ...

:-)

All the best,
