It's good to hear someone else has been doing this.  I just created one
as you say:

qemu-mkcow -f /dev/hda hda.img

Just tried booting with this, both with -snapshot and the COW image.
Still no worky.  I am using the latest qemu CVS.  Which version have you
made it work with?  Which win version?

thanks for all your help,
