In article <473016F5.80209@gmail.com> you write:

Well theoreticall that would be qemu -hda /dev/ad1 (or wherever that other
drive is), but in this case its unlikely to work since Windows doesn't
like hardware being changed under it (the hardware qemu emulates
most likely is different from the one your real system.)  You can read
more about this topic in the freenode #qemu faq:
