Interesting.  Hope you've taken a backup (image the hdd or something). :)

I wonder if it's possible to use a dedicated hdd as a snapshot backing store, with the copy on write difference file being else where.

  ie. /some/location/snapshot1.qcow2

That would let you use a VM with "/some/location/snapshot1.qcow2" as it's hard drive, and wouldn't then make any changes to your actual (working) dedicated windows hdd. Lets you try things in a vm easily without ruining the primary image.

Disk i/o performance in the vm could be less than great though. :/

Regards and best wishes,
