One note of critical importance: Create the maximum allowable disk space here once and for all. Once this image is finalized, no further resizing of the partition is possible.

$ installwinpro -w winxppro -g 6G -m shared

Once the emulated guest environment comes up, it appears as in the following screenshot:
