Hi, I finally got past the cdrom issue (ie didn't need it anyway!) and installed win7 with only one hiccup (512 default mem setting) and it seemed to install fine, I had net access and everything. I downloaded the GWX control panel app and anti-beacon then tried to run win updates, it ran, and ran, for like 3 hours never giving any indication that it was doing anything but "checking". That was before started "start VM for Windows Tools Installation" and ran the qubes-tools-WIN7x64-3.0.4.1 app in the virt cdrom that showed up in win7 , I then rebooted win7 and was able to open shortcuts to apps in win7 (win7 appvm?) from Qubes! Great! but then I am not sure what happened, I wasn't able to start the "windows window" at first, and I think I might have tried from the Qubes VM Manager to run "update VM" and eventually was able to get a "windows 7 window" but now no network access at all (said no connection), and I am no longer able to open win7 apps via shortcuts in their own windows, now they open up a large "win7 window" (full screen) and the app inside of that (not full screen, so win menu/taskbar etc are accessible). I then put in the network info from the Win7 settings into windows and set a DNS and I had internet access again, but still no updates and still not back to being able to open up appvms). And for what its worth, I am noticing now that before when the win7 window opened up it would not go to full screen, now it does; also it now (not sure about before) tells me in the bottom right hand side that its in "Test Mode, Windows 7, Build 7601".
I am fine with starting over with the Win7 VM (after getting over the cdrom and bsod hurdles it doesn't seem so bad) but I would like to know if in what I have described I have done anything wrong, hopefully so as I figure I should be doing sec updates etc in win7.
