This is how I got it to work. I suspect that it's dangerous at boot time, use 
at 
your own risk.

- create a qcow of the whole drive
   qemu-img -b /dev/sda -f qcow2 -b /dev/sda dcopy.img
- start the image
   qemu-kvm -m 1000 -hda dcopy.img
- boot Windows

After testing that, enable whatever network, sound, etc, you wish

If you are *really* brave just put the whole disk in a VM and don't boot 
another 
copy of Linux

   qemu-kvm -m 1000 -hda /dev/sda

That "worked for me" in FC10 and XP.
