The good news is that the system now boots grub sans menu. I typed in the necessary information to boot windows: chainloader (hd0,0)+1 boot

Hmm. Type to find a rescue system.
fwiw same happens when I boot directly from the partition. Ideas welcome.
Windows is picky about hard disk drivers. The initial installation seems to install some drivers that get loaded early for your disk hardware. QEMU emulates a different type of hardware than what you probably have and so it can't find the root disk once the kernel has booted. If you change the main disk controller on a real machine, you'll probably have the same problem.
I'm not aware of a way to fix that, unfortunately. I've generally had to install my windows images from scratch.
