working vm image link

Has anyone got a working arch vm image they wouldn't mind sharing?  I've tried half-assedly a couple times to install it but something seems to go wrong detecting the disk and i'm getting far too lazy these days to use my whole ass.

Normally i would try and figure it out myself but i just wanna road test arch at work to see if i can make the transition from XP and don't want to go devote a lot of time to troubleshooting it if it doesn't pan out.

I have an image I can give you if you have a proposed method of transfer (I can rarely host as I'm mostly at school which is rather firewalled, but I can FTP it somewhere if you can host or have space somewhere). It's 180MB zipped, around 700MB unzipped.

I built the image to distribute to a class so they could use some robotic simulation software (Player/Stage) from Windows, but it has XFCE4 and GCC and the VMWare tools already setup. And it's pretty small still so you can configure it how you like.
