You may have to tweak some of the BIOS settings in the virtual machine. This is covered in the manual. You just have to set some of the BIOS information strings to match the ones in the real BIOS so that the install software is happy. I have done this with Toshiba restore disks in the past when I wiped the original, installed Linux, and then re-installed Windows in a virtual machine running on the same box.
