Following this guide I created a KVM by using this:

Code:
qm importovf 999 Win2003.ovf local-lvm
I want to access the system disk to use chntpw to see the windows registry, see if which of this registry branch exists:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\]

OR

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\]

So I can use the proper MergeIDE.zip, and boot into the KVM
 
you'll need ntfs-3g for full read/write access to the disk:

# apt-get install ntfs-3g

then
# mount -t ntfs-3 /dev/mapper/local-lvm-WinDev1709Eval /mnt/temp (this may not be exact; check you lvs for exact name)

All that said- why not just boot it?
