Em. The error should mean you can only use had~hdd for ioemu. hde+ is for vbd. 
You can have a try with: 
disk = ['phy:/dev/VG_Dom3_Windows/w2k3-001,ioemu:hda,w',
'phy:/dev/sde,ioemu:hdb,w', 'phy:/dev/sdf,ioemu:hdc,w',
'phy:/dev/sdg,ioemu:hdd,w', 'phy:/dev/sdh,hde,w' ]

Well, Windows doesn't support vbd yet. So you can not use more than 4 IDE disks 
for Windows HVM.

This is not a correct usage for HVM. You can only use hda, hdb etc, but not 
hda1, hdb1 etc.

I think your Windows doesn't open serial console output. So don't using "-c". 
"xm create w2k3.hvm" is okay.
