/var/lib/libvirt/images exists but is empty. Am I supposed to create win7-80GB.qcow2 and run the install again? And should it be a file or a directory?

Has anyone run into this before? It's mostly Greek to me.

Dick,

  It looks more like a Python error traceback than a Greek one. I would
'touch win7-80GB.qcow2' and try it again. Make sure the permissions match
those of the parent directories. This ensures the file exists and won't harm
a retry.

That solved the problem. I have successfully installed Win7 in QEMU. Next I'll see how to move things between the host and the guest, and install my transcription software.

Thanks for the suggestion.
