If you don’t see content query web part listed in the web parts list, this is because you have not enabled “Search Server Web Parts” feature in site collection features. Enable this feature and content query web part will show in the list of web parts.

Installing and configuring SharePoint 2010
The following steps show how to install SharePoint 2010 on VMware workstation 7.0. Host computer used during the preparation of this walk-through was a Vista (32-bit) machine and guest machine used was VMware workstation 7.0 with Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (64-bit).
Preparing your machine
Is your machine 64-bit compatible? Download following standalone utility from vmware.com that will check if your processor is 64-bit compatible or not:
http://download3.vmware.com/software/wkst/VMware-guest64check-6.0.0-45731.exe
If your machine is 64-bit compatible then second step is to confirm whether Virtualization Technology (VT) is enabled or not. To enable 64-bit support for virtual machines in VMware, you must enable Virtualization Technology (VT). VT provides greater flexibility and maximum system utilization. With VT, your machine will make the most of its underlying hardware. You can enable VT in the BIOS by going to advanced processor features and enabling Intel Virtualization Technology. The VT setting is locked at power on. After enabling VT in BIOS, save changes to the BIOS settings and then turn off power to the system. Your changes take effect when the system is turned on again. Simply rebooting the system without turning it off will not enable VT. This is called as power cycling the system.

It is not as easy as it seems. Finding correct links to download the pre-requisite software is the first hurdle. Then the ordering in which the software has to be installed is the second hurdle. What hotfixes are required and where to download them from is another issue. If you get stuck in any of the steps above, and need help, I would suggest you download the following user guide that explains each of the above steps in detail and has screenshots to help you complete the steps easily.
http://sharepoint2007tips.com/sharepoint2010book.aspx
The guide consists of 100+ pages and covers everything you need to know about the SharePoint 2010 installation.
Look at the following questions to figure out if you need this guide or not:
1. How will you know if your machine is 64-bit compatible and ready for SharePoint 2010 installation?
2. If you are running 32 bit OS on your system, how will you install 64 bit SharePoint 2010 software?
3. If you don’t have hyper-V or don’t want to use hyper-V, what are your other options?
4. From where can you download VMware version that is required for SP 2010 installation?
5. How to prepare your machine for SharePoint 2010 installation? How to enable VT in BIOS? What to do if changes in BIOS do not take effect, etc?
6. What software pre-requisites to install and in what order?
