Using KVM I have installed Windows Virtual machine in Ubuntu server 11.04. Every time if I boot the Windows VM, it asks for OS CD. But other Linux VMs boot properly.

I need Windows VM to be booted properly like other linux VMs. Can any one help?

Check if the CD device is still "attached" to that VM. If you had the CD "attached" to the vm when you installed it... make sure you "detach" the cd from the VM.

Click on the Particular Windows VM and select "View" from toolbar. From there select "IDE CDROM1", click on the "disconnect" option to disconnect the media(CD). After that it does not asks for CD.

Windows Vm -> View -> IDE CDROM1 -> Disconnect
