Summary: Vista w/ CD: diskpart.exe hangs

Initial Comment:
Running KVM-69 on an Intel T2500, Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit base system, Vista Enterprise 32 bit SP1 guest. When I run diskpart.exe from a cmd shell and I have a virtual cd inserted, the command hangs indefinitely. The rest of the VM remains usable. Guest started as:

kvm -hda foo.img -m 512 -net nic,model=e1000 -net user -localtime -cdrom WinVista-32.iso

Example scenario:

* Start -> Run... (note you'll need to add this to the start menu in Vista - right click, properties, customize...)
* cmd
* diskpart

You'll get some output:

Microsoft DiskPart version 6.0.6001
Copyright <C> 1999-2007 Microsoft Corporation.
On computer: <your computer name>

Then nothing but a blinking cursor. If you run this without a -cdrom option it works. Also fails using -no-kvm. Works in VirtualBox OSE and Xen. Seems to be new for Vista, trying the same on XP seems to work.

I ran across this trying to install a system via Ghost, which apparently uses this old utility to setup the disk.
