I apologize if this has already been discussed to death. I did do multiple searches on phrases like "existing partition" but didn't find what I'm hoping exists.
The box I'm typing on, like most cheap PCs, came with Windows Home preinstalled, but no installation disks, just "restore" disks to reproduce the exact original disk image. When I installed Debian, I shrank the original Windows partition and never booted it again. I need to use Windows software occasionally for work, so I'd like to set up qemu, but all instructions I can find for it require the installation CD, which I don't have. Is there any reason I can't just define /dev/hda (real) as hda (for qemu)? If not, it's only 15 gig--what if I just dd a copy of it?
