Unfortunately I do not know how to use xm block-configure command because I do 
not know front and back names.

The output of virsh for VNC domain is:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='file'/>
<source file='/myiso.iso/>
<target dev='hdb'/>
</disk>
But I do not see this disk in Windows...

When I add iso-file by means of virt-manager (Tab "Hardware" -> Add-> Storage 
device -> Simple File -> myiso.iso) there is no disk in Windows too...
