I'm not sure, as the above has always worked for me in RHEL5 to clone Windows Xen guests. The part I do differently is that I use a bs=512 for copying the MBR, so you might want to try that (though it might then include the partition table, not sure). The part where you say that "even bios is unable to detect my target disk" looks suspicious, though.
