Your version of xen may not be able to properly mount the iso.Check
your qemu logs for clues (/var/log/xen/qemu-dm-...)

You could try mounting the iso and changing the disk line of your config.

# losetup -r /dev/loop0 /root/windows.iso
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda3,ioemu:hda,w', 'phy:/dev/loop0,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]
