From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are you only using QEMU, or are you using some sort of wrapper around it? QEMU is quite advanced, if you aren't already, I'd recommend you use some sort of GUI like virt-manager or something.

Can you share your config?

Does it BSOD or just reboot after the Windows logo?

You might have to pass the drives through as IDE, Windows might not have the proper drivers for anything else. Once you can get it booting you can mount a blank drive as virtio, install the virtio drivers, and then change the OS drive to virtio.
