Help with Amazon EC2
I need help using Amazon EC2, please
I want to do the following but I am having trouble figuring out how to do it.
Step 1: Launch a Windows AMI Instance
-------------------------------------
Using a tool such as the Firefox EC2 Extension ([login to view URL];tstart=0 ) (or a better one if you'd like to recommend one), create an instance of an AMI that contains Qemu and some version of Windows. You can use this one [login to view URL];categoryID=101 , unless you have a better one.
Then connect to that Windows instance using Remote Desktop
Step 2: Overwrite with VMWare image
-----------------------------------
According to [login to view URL];categoryID=101 , that instance is "VMware compatible - Qemu-img supports vmdk conversion as well as several other formats enabling easy migration from existing virtualized server environments."
I will provide you with a VMWare imagine that contains Windows XP, and I'd like to you to install it on the Windows Instance created in the previous step, overwriting the existing Windows Server 2003 with Windows XP
Then connect to the new Windows XP image using Remote Desktop
Step 3: Modify AMI, terminate and launch instance
-------------------------------------------------
Modify the XP AMI by installing a sample application, for example irfanview ([login to view URL]). Then save the XP Irfanview AMI. Then terminate the XP Irfanview Instance. Then launch the XP Irfanview instance again. Finally, terminate it again

--------------------
The tasks I would like you to do are: Do the above steps, and write down the instructions while doing them, and then provide me with these instructions.
Then I will do these steps myself using your instructions.
When you do them first you may use you own EC2 account, and then I'll use my own EC2 account when I repeat them.
