I just installed Windows XP twice, once without the patch and once with the patch. The command line I used for this was: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 3G -cpu host -enable-kvm -M pc-1.0 -drive file=disk.qcow 2 -cdrom en_windows_xp_professional_with_service_pack_3_x86_cd_vl_x14-73974.iso Aside from the nostalgia being completely overwhelming, both installs were successful, and I was greeted with the terrific bliss.bmp background.
