Thomas,

As long as your F7 is up to date, you should have a "virsh 
attach-device" command.  Usage is along these lines:

   cat > cdrom.xml
     <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
       <source file='my-cdrom.iso'/>
       <target dev='hdc'/>
       <readonly/>
     </disk>
   ^D

   virsh attach-device DOM cdrom.xml

For virt-install I suggest reading the manpage.  It has a million 
complicated options that you have to get right, and I've never installed 
W2K3 :-(  But the manpage has some examples (although unfortunately not 
of a Windows install).

Rich.
