I've done that (together with giving qemu access to the whole hd, which 
is kinda risky if you don't REALLY know  what you're doing) to install 
Kubuntu on my optical drive less Toshiba notebook from XP. It takes ages 
but if you actually find a working Qemu version and get the boot sector 
correct it just might boot after that.

I had less luck with convincing VMware to do a similar job.
