Confirming this bug on Intrepid 64-bit with kvm_intel.

Tried Windows XP SP1, Windows 2003 Standard R2 and Windows 2000 SP4. Installer starts fine, after first reboot: "A disk read error occured".

Tried to convert a vmdk file to qcow (with qemu-img) hosting a Windows XP machine. Loader starts but immediately reboot. But the point is that the loader is found on the disk as it let's me boot in "Safe Mode".

Using this converted disk file let me re-install Windows XP without breaking a sweat. My best guess is that whatever way virt-manager uses to create disk images is broken somehow.
