Install Windows 7 on KVM

Method 1 (ref)
qemu-img create -f qcow2 vdisk.img 100g
sudo kvm -m 750 -cd-rom /dev/sr0 -boot d -vdisk.img
    * kvm - calls the kernel virtual machine (obvious)
    * -m 750 - allocates 750mb of memory for the virtual machine
    * -cd-rom sets up the cd-rom. For a physical disk use same disk as your HostOS. For a image, provide a path to the image file.
    * -boot d boots the virtual machine from the cd-rom
kvm -m 512 vdisk.img
