Windows7 (64bits OEM) on Fedora 14 Virtual Machine

[pouyan6]

Hi Experts,
I have a Lenovo T500 laptop with 4 GB RAM. I have installed Windows 7 64bits OEM on my laptop HD. I also installed Fedora 14 on my USB External Hard Drive which it has it own boot sector. I don't want to have a dual boot.
So if I plug in my external HD to my laptop and turns the machine on, it automatically my Fedora comes up, other wise my windows 7. (I set up start-up boot drive , first to USB External HD and then internal HD)

I installed KVM (Virtual Machine Manger) on my Fedora 14 and I am trying to install windows 7 64bits OEM on my Fedora 14 as Virtual Machine. After setting everything and start installing windows form CD, I got BLUE SCREEN right after "WINDOWS FILES LOADING..." finished. it shows me a blue screen and then it will stop

Questions:
1- How can I fix that problem?
2- Is ther way to make a Virtual Machine on my Fedora using my exiting installed windows 7 on my laptop HD ?


Thanks

I use Virtual Box myself, but that's just me...otherwise there's VMWare although you have to pay for it...I've never used KVM or QEMU so I wouldn't know how to make it work...good luck

in VM windows I got following error message
"windows failed to start ..........

Finally I have installed Windows 7 64 bit OEM as Virtual Machine on my Fedora 14 64bits (2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64):
The problem was I installed wrong version of VirtualBox.
You find your right version for your Fedora from:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/

Also the following link tell you how to install VisaulBox on your fedora:
