I tried with libvirt 0.4.4-3 and virtinst 0.300.3-5 from Lenny. But I also 
tested on a second machine with Virt-manager 0.6.0's dependencies, so libvirt 
0.4.4-3 from Lenny and virtinst 0.400.0-1 from Experimental, same problem.

I choosed "Windows XP". 

If I try to boot the installation disk again with the installed disk image in 
commandline with KVM : 
kvm -boot d -cdrom windows_xp_pro_sp3_fr.iso -hda windows_test.img -m 512
the Windows installer system takes several minutes to pass the disk 
verification step... 

I also tested with Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, no problem with KVM 
in commandline : 
dd if=/dev/zero of=windows_test.img bs=1G count=3
kvm -cdrom windows_server_2003_r2_standard_cd1.iso -hda windows_test.img -m 
512

But if I try to install it with Virt-manager, impossible to reboot after the 
first installation stage, the virtual machine stops itself when booting to 
the hard disk... If I try to boot to the same disk image in commandline with 
KVM I get this :
