Great tip, Scot!
Doing that I was able to move on into the install process.

Being a long-time proxmox user, it never occurred to me that look there for 
tips (my understanding is that proxmox is kvm- or lxc-based, and since Qubes is 
trying to move away from qemu-related stuff that sort of things would not apply 
here).

So, for the record, storage pools and specific Lenovo X250 had nothing to do 
with this Windows 7 "no further than glowing logo" issue.

Thanks again!
