When that's done, run the following command:
 
<pre>qemu-system-i386 -hda winvista.img -cdrom winvista_iso_name.iso -boot d -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 1G -vga std -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -usbdevice tablet -rtc base=localtime</pre>
 
Or if running without root or virtualization:
<pre>qemu-system-i386 -hda winvista.img -cdrom winvista_iso_name.iso -boot d -cpu qemu64 -m 1G -vga std -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -usbdevice tablet -rtc base=localtime</pre>
 
Windows Vista was somewhat infamous for its beefy system requirements at the time, so at least 1 GB of RAM should be used. Windows Vista (32-bit) can run at 512 MB, but that's unrecommended. The absolute recommended minimum is 768 MB on 32-bit Windows Vista. If you server is lower on resources you may want to use Windows XP instead.
 
====After installation====
<pre>qemu-system-i386 -hda winvista.img -boot c -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 1G -vga std -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -usbdevice tablet -rtc base=localtime</pre>
 
Or if running without root or virtualization:
<pre>qemu-system-i386 -hda winvista.img -boot c -cpu qemu64 -m 1G -vga std -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -usbdevice tablet -rtc base=localtime</pre>
