You dont need vmware workstation/player(which sometimes slow down ur system) to be installed in your system.
Although the following are required:
1. Qemu (an emulation software)
2. Fedora 7/ Digit Dvd July 2007
First download the qemu emulator for windows and extract the content to any of your drive
Go to the folder where you extracted the emulator from the command prompt

Step1: Create an empty hard disk image virtually of any size using the command
qemu-img.exe create -f qcow fedora_7.img 8G
now that we have created a virtual hdd of 8GB in size

Step2: Insert your dvd
qemu.exe -L . -cdrom "\\.\I:" -hda fedora_7.img -m 256 -boot d
this will allow you to perform a normal installation of fedora os. Instead of I: you can specify your dvd drive letter and you can always increase or decrease the ram size allocated by changing the number256

Step3:
[FONT=&quot] If installation has finished, you can use installed OS
qemu -L . -hda fedora_7.img -m 256

Optional:
Alternatively you can create a batch file for the last step to include the following lines
[/FONT]
Code:
REM Start qemu on windows.
@ECHO OFF

qemu -L . -hda fedora_7.img -m 256
save the file with any name and extension .BAT(something like Run_Fedora7.bat)
Create a shortcut on desktop to this file....so that when u click the link it will automatically run fedora-7 inside your windows operating system.
