Try this for a starting point
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>My WinXP</name>
<memory>2048000</memory>
<currentMemory>2048000</currentMemory>
<vcpu>2</vcpu>
<os>
<type arch='i686'>hvm</type>
</os>
<features>
<acpi/>
<pae/>
</features>
<clock offset='utc'/>
<on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
<on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
<on_crash>destroy</on_crash>
<devices>
<emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<source file='/some/path/to/mywinxp.qcow2'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
</disk>
<interface type='user'>
<mac address='00:00:00:00:00:00'/>
</interface>
<input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/>
<graphics type='sdl'/>
</devices>
</domain>
Fill in a random mac address there & fix the disk path.... You'll
probably want type=vnc for the graphics instead of sdl
