I under what you are saying, however, I have loaded Windows (well I redeployed 
my Cloud Stack tonight) but last night, I had a Windows 2008 R2 64Bit Instance 
installed and going strong. I powered it down, because I thought perhaps I 
would then be able to see the instance to add the volume (data disk) however no 
luck. Online / Offline, I cannot attach a data disk to windows; the only thing 
that I can attach it to is Linux instances I already have on.

I must admit, last night I was running CS 3.0.2 -- now i am running 4.0 -- I 
will throw a Windows Instance online and see if this version allows me to do 
what I want to do.
