I have a dom0 (FC5+Xen) installed on one partition and WinXPSP2 installed on
a second partition.

Grub lets me boot into either.

I have two image files on the dom0 partition that lets me run domU linux
images.

Can I run the existing WinXPSP2 install as a domU?

I have tried but get a grub error when I "point" the Windows domU cfg at the
grub partition.  Tried pointing directly at the Windows partition with even
less success.

Is this even possible or do I have to install Windows into an image file?

Dominic
