Windows does not like to see radical changes in the hardware - virtual or otherwise. If it can't be fixed by booting to safe mode, then repairing using the Windows installation media may help. In any case, you will most likely have to call Microsoft to re-activate Windows if you do get it working again.
Real lesson to be learned: Don't do that. Water over the proverbial dam now. If you wanted to try booting the Windows installation in VB, then cloning it to a virtual disk under Linux without touching the original would have been the way to go; however, to remain legal you could probably no longer use the original.
