My first inclination was you used the xvd syntax that is not applicable to an 
hvm, but you haven't. Aside from the use of " where I use ' in my config I have 
the same thing with Windows 2008 setups and I am running many.

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vms/xxx_snap,hda,w', 'file:/iso/xxx.iso,hdc:cdrom,r']

Boot into the install, and at the disk selection portion, type Shift-F10 I 
think or one of the Function keys and launch a shell.

Diskpart --> list disk

Look at what it shows. My guess it's a problem with the physical disc you are 
trying to export into the hvm which could be from many reasons. FWIW, I export 
all lv's into my h/pvm's.
