Make sure you have a consistent copy of the disk.
Qemu-img convert from physical HDD to VHD might work, but I would use a 
RAW image, which is easer for a fine control.
Boot you VM with a LiveCD (systemrescuecd or Knoppix are great for 
this), to make sure the disk is in place, partitioned and readable 
correctly.
After that, treat it as a Motherboard change or upgrade to fix Windows 
boot. It seems like a pretty common problem, they use a Windows install 
disk to repair the boot loader and add the missed driver for the disk 
controller.
