Not quite sure what you are asking here.  If you want to use an existing 
partition on the disk to be the backing store when installing a Windows 
Virtual Machine  then that is certainly supported.  The docs should show 
you the syntax to set that up in the disk specification section when 
configuring the Virtual Machine.  If you have an already installed 
instance of Windows that was installed on the metal and not under the 
hypervisor on a partition on your machine and want to run that under the 
hypervisor, then that is almost certainly not going to work due to the 
differences in the actual hardware that windows was configured and 
installed on and the Virtual Machine presented by the hypervisor.
