Download QEMU for Windows from here
http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/
Unzip it, and place the files in:
C:\Program Files\Qemu
Then download the QEMU Accelerator Module (called kqemu-1.3.0pre9.tar.gz ) from here
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/download.html
Then uncompress the kqemu-1.3.0pre9.tar.gz file. You may need to uncompress it twice, using an application like 7Zip.
http://www.7-zip.org/
Look through the unzipped files, and right-click on the one called kqemu.inf
Then click "Install" and wait a few seconds.
Then go to a command prompt and type
net start qemu
You should get a message saying
The KQEMU virtualisation module for QEMU service was started successfully.
Then you need to download a drive image, so go to this page
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Build_images
Then go to "Images", and download olpc-stream-development-59-20060808_1153-ext3.img.bz2 (or a later image)
This file will need uncompressing with an application like 7Zip.
http://www.7-zip.org/
Make sure you place the uncompressed ".img" file in the same folder as QEMU, then go to your command prompt and type
cd "\Program Files\Qemu"
Then finally, type
qemu -L . -hda olpc-stream-development-59-20060808_1153-ext3.img
After a few seconds, a new window should open, and you should see a copy of Linux booting... This may take a minute or two...
Eventually you'll see a black dialogue box, asking you for a user name. Press OK, and wait for the magic!
