well, actually in a qemu devoted post they adviced me to use the
existing windows partition as the img file for qemu...
i mean that
it could be also a viable idea, not using the original partition directly but
as a base-device for a qemu-img,
this way i will not write changes resulting from hardware differences
directly to the
windows partition, only after synchronization in qemu's monitor (or
whatever the correct term is)
perhaps this is still a fringe to you... :)
