the disk is fine, I can boot it natively. The hardware emulation in qemu 
is very old (circa Pentium Pro CPUs). It's possible (probable, do I 
remember LBA supports 120 Gbytes? wasn't there an earlier max of 32 
Gbytes?) the disk (320 Gbytes) is larger than the emulation supports.

It's also possible that Windows is picking up garbage device geometry.
