I hope someone else can verify this, but I believe I have a workaround to the "lost drive" problem. I used W2K3 R2 Standard, 32 bit on a Ubuntu 8.10 server 64 bit.
Use Virtual Machine Manager to create a new VM. Set the hard disk to an IMG, not a QCOW2.
The preinstall went fine. Before you reboot the windows machine, remember to set the CD back to the win2k3 iso image.

Worked for me - anyone else?
