I've tried that already and it doesn't help (you exchange disk not found error
for crashing installation). This may be related to *much* newer qemu
version in Qubes 4.x, than was used in Qubes 3.x, apparently devices
emulated there are not supported by ReactOS drivers.

But, ReactOS live image seems to work much better.
