I've the same problem. I've reinstalled Windows XP in Ubuntu 9.10 kvm using a raw disk image and gets corrupted quickly and Windows doesn't boot after three or four reboots (installing windows updates).
Now I have installed Windows XP using a qcow2 disk image and it's working properly. So it's seem to be related to the disk format. Best regards.
