The page does not state that it is better to run Windows 2000 on qcow2, it's probably just that the tester decided to use qcow2 on his machine and noted his configuration. Raw should work just like qcow2 does and you can expect better performance with raw. Although qcow2 does run on raw devices like drbd or lvm logical volumes, I suspect you'll see the same issue you're getting now. It's worth figuring out why your current configuration freezes. I am interested in the same questions Jernej asked about the freeze: is the guest crashing with a BSOD or is the KVM process consuming all CPU?
