Interesting. Hope you've taken a backup (image the hdd or something). :)
I wonder if it's possible to use a dedicated hdd as a snapshot backing
store, with the copy on write difference file being else where.
ie. /some/location/snapshot1.qcow2
That would let you use a VM with "/some/location/snapshot1.qcow2" as
it's hard drive, and wouldn't then make any changes to your actual
(working) dedicated windows hdd. Lets you try things in a vm easily
without ruining the primary image.
Disk i/o performance in the vm could be less than great though. :/
