This is happening for me as well.

Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell D830
virt-manager - 0.7.0
qemu - 0.11
KVM is turned on.
2G RAM

I tried to setup a single processor .5G RAM windows XP and Vista. Neither work for me. The NTFS format always fails. It runs the entire format but fails at the end, after the format is "complete" (or nearly so). I assume it is writing NTFS tables at the end or something. I can seem to format the device if I switch it to SCSI but virt-manager won't let me boot a scsi device and windows complains that my drive is non bootable and won't install. I tinkered with whatever UI settings are available to me through virt-manager including changing from KVM to QEMU and trying various drive size options. Same results every time. I'll probably switch to virtual box but would prefer not to.
