Well, I'm finally back in business. Created a winxppro sp3 fully patched file 
backed vbd I saved on another machine as a template. I installed 0.9.9 with 
absolutely no incident, no missing devices. The 'Details' button in the 
installer said something to the effect "Device not plugged in, couldn't 
update driver" a couple of times, but Device Manager is very happy.

I rebooted w/ /gplpv, and was immediately pleasantly surprised to get 
a 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in my systray, and a popup asking for Media 
Actions for my dvd. My Computer properly read my dvd, for the first time 
ever. Of course, I still can't change the disk, but that's the same situation 
with Qemu.

Benchmarks to follow. Good job, James.
