In fact, i've succeeded in setting up my Windows HVM, with putting a 
dummy small disque, emulated with scsi and my main install disk 
emulating ide. so my disks config line is something like that :
disk = [ 'file:/path/to/c_disk.img,ioemu:hda,w', 
'file:/path/to/d_disk.img,ioemu:sda,w', 
'file:/path/to/installer.iso,hdc:cdrom,r']
I think that using this was aware of the driver to use for both disks 
(thanks to the scsi one).
So, now it works, but, has anyone experienced this setting up Win2k3 ? I 
am alone with that strange problem ?
