As for the mepis installation, you just created a 3GB partition. Indeed it's 0 bytes size, but it grows as you install and write more stuff. You wouldn't want to allocate 3GB directly by just writing 2GB stuff inside, would you? :) As for the nothing-happend issue, it seems that you didn't select to boot from the CD image (or CD Device) as this is the first thing you want to do after creating a blank virtual hard drive, so you'll need to add "-boot d" and with the appropriate -cdrom stuff .. Hope this helps, I'm not using QEMU under Windows..
