So I noticed, thank you

I did as you suggested, and added myself to the kvm-group. I tried again, 
and launched the command
qemu-kvm -M pc -m 1G -cdrom /dev/sr0 -boot d /mnt/a14/winxp.img

After giving this command I got a screen displayed which you can see at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~michkloo/ssqemu6.html
I'll explain the messages below:

After giving the qemu-kvm- command I got a screen, looking like a 
bootscreen, giving messages like
QEMU BIOS version 1
ata0 master + description
ata1 master cd + description 
Press F12 for boot menu

I didn't press F12, and it continued
Booting from CD-ROM
therebelow in Dutch
"Druk op een toets als u van CD wilt starten", which translates into
 Push a key if you want to boot from CD

I didn't push any key, and it continued on its own initiative, ending with 
the errormessage "NTLDR is missinh
                   Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart

Did I execute the same qemu-kvm- command, and did I press F12 after it 
suggested me to do so. That took me to a screen which 
you can see at http://www.xs4all.nl/~michkloo/ssqemu7.html

This screenimmage says (in Dutch)
Kan het bestand \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe niet in het geheugen laden
De Foutcode is 7
Setup kan niet doorgaan
Druk op een toets om het installatieprogramma af te sluiten

Which translates to
Cannot load file \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe into memory
Errorcode 7
Setup cannot continue
Push any key to halt the installation programme

This is my result of the attempt to install qemu-kvm.
I hope someone has come across the same results I arrived at. If you 
recognise any mistakes I have made, I'd greatly appreciate your mentioning 
them to me. Thanks in advance!
