I have started all of the above but when it comes to the point of creating an image and installing I always think this is the wrong solution for me??? I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 as a host and want to have my already installed Windows Vista (on \dev\sda1; Formatted as ntfs; unmounted at the moment) as a guest. How do I make that? Thanks for helping out a newbe. Hi, I just don’t get it.

The info-box will pop-up in Overview mode. Click on the Hardware tab. Now, click on the +Add button. In the new info-box, select Storage device on the drop down, then click Forward. In the new window, select Normal Disk Partition. In the Partition field enter /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrw, or whatever is the appropriate device location for you CD drive. In Device type, select IDE, even if it’s a SATA CD drive. Click Forward and voila! You might have to shutdown and restart the Windows session for it to recognize the CD but that should do it.

Everything is fine until I get to the "Locating Installation Medium" screen. The "CD or DVD" opton is grayed out even though I have the original Windows XP CD residing in my CD ROM. The only other options are "ISO Image Location" and "Network PXE", either of which I believe to be incorrect. Any suggestions?
