You shouldn't need to use qtparted as you're attempting to install this in a VM as a single OS. The only time you need to use qtparted is when installing in a dual boot configuration. I'll run through it again when I have a chance tonight or tomorrow and PM you some more detailed instructions.

bkevin: I think I managed to solve it. Go back into your lilo.conf file. You'll probably see a section that is commented so:

# Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1
*bunch of other stuff I don't remember*
# Windows bootable partition config ends

If you're not running a dual-boot system, you can delete that whole section. After saving and exiting, re-run lilo -v. It should complete successfully. Exit out of everything, reboot (make sure to remove usb or cd), and you'll see the lilo boot screen. I had trouble at first until I realized that if I needed to provide options, I had to type Linux (options). Hope that helps.
