I had trouble getting winxp installed within kvm too.  Stopped with all 
sorts of funny errors depending on how I started it (with/without acpi, 
...).  Don't remember the exact errors, but one disk-related was among them.

Happended only on my AMD box though, on the Intel machine it worked 
fine.  Both ran a quite simliar setup (Fedora 11).  Which made me 
suspect hardware problems.  Tried to upgrade the BIOS -> works fine now.

HTH,
   Gerd
