This is a corrupted disk, or perhaps the IDE driver is not installed correctly.
the disk is fine, I can boot it natively. The hardware emulation in qemu is very old (circa Pentium Pro CPUs). It's possible (probable, do I remember LBA supports 120 Gbytes? wasn't there an earlier max of 32 Gbytes?) the disk (320 Gbytes) is larger than the emulation supports.
It's also possible that Windows is picking up garbage device geometry.
Ah, I haven't tried very large disks. I'll check it out.
