Ok, thank you.
I changed "sda1" to "hda" and now the VM is booting up.
But windows installation doesn't start, it hangs at "Windows starting".
If I change "hda" to "hda1" the Windows installation starts, but it
doesn't recognise any hard disk drive.


"hda1" isn't a valid option for HVM domains, so I don't see why that would work better.


Another problem is that if I try to connect to Xen with UltraVNC
Viewer it doesn't work (the vncviewer.exe process is at 99% of CPU on
my Windows client) and it hangs.
If I use RealVNC it works.

I guess that means that UltraVNC is broken for this particular use - but I know nothing about different VNC servers - I've mostly been using SDL over X-windows.
