I dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04.

I want to be able to virtually boot this windows installation inside Ubuntu.

While trying to do this using qemu qemu -hda /dev/sda -m 2048 I am able to see the GRUB loader, I select Windows and then I just get the Blue screen of death.

So, how do I boot the existing installation of windows as a Virtual Guest in Ubuntu.

The solution need not be only qemu related. It can be any virtualization solution.

Note:
I don't want to convert the existing installation into a virtual disk and then use it. I want to be able to directly boot the existing windows installation.
Basically all changes made to Windows from inside Ubuntu should reflect in the native Windows installation.
