No way to get the Windows bootloader to even try starting up Windows unless the windows partition is exactly at the safe offset from as it is in the original drive. Too bad that Windows dies with a BSOD while booting... That's with qemu-kvm 0.11.0 and Linux 2.6.30 on Debian Sneezy. Oh, well. I'll just try to avoid booting into Windows...
