I tried with s.th like this:

address@hidden test]$ qemu-img create -f qcow xp 2G
Formating 'xp', fmt=qcow, size=2097152 kB

now installing xp:
address@hidden test]$ qemu -hda xp -cdrom /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -m 384 -boot d

Wenn installiert:
address@hidden test]$ qemu-img convert -c xp -O qcow OxpO

Would be nice if convert outputs some processing-infos :)

address@hidden test]$ rm xp
address@hidden test]$ qemu-img create -b OxpO -f qcow xp
Formating 'xp', fmt=qcow, backing_file=OxpO, size=2097152 kB

address@hidden test]$ qemu -hda xp -m 384
...Boom...
I/O-Error in qemu


Hope it helps.
