Hi,

do you want to import KVM disks into oVirt?

Then you should use this tool here:
https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2015/09/18/importing-kvm-guests-to-ovirt-or-rhev/
http://git.annexia.org/?p=import-to-ovirt.git

Example:

./import-to-ovirt.pl /home/import-disk-image.img <nfs-export-domain> --vmtype Desktop --vcpus 1 --memory 2048

As you wrote you want to import Windows machine I would check first that 
you are using already virtIO drivers in Windows (just check if you disk 
is IDE or virtIO).

If this is not the case please perform the following:

1. Backup old IDE disk
2. Insert new virtIO disk (could be very small) into your VM
3. Install virtIO drivers from this iso file:
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/virtual/ovirt/ovirt-3.6/rpm/el7/noarch/ovirt-guest-tools-iso-3.6.0-0.2_master.fc22.noarch.rpm
4. After that you can remove the new disk and change the old one from 
IDE to virtIO.
5. Test boot
6. If everything is OK then power down the VM and import the disk with 
the command above.

Hope that helps.

Best regards
Christoph
