Hi all,
This is simple research on the present situation of having windows OS on top
of XEN.
I have got to know that RedHat or SuSE etc doesnt support Windows as a guest
OS even if its fully virtualized.
But documentation over the net says that there are many people who have
successfully installed Windows OS on top of XEN, having LINUX as a host OS(i
am not sure about which linux version).

So if you have got any information, even if you have not implement it, do
comment and those who have successfully installed it then do share it like
on which Host system it worked and all .

But as far as i know after lot of research that in coming year by end of
march RedHat, SuSE would support windows as a guest OS.

I got Win XP Pro 32 bit running as an HVM under SuSE 10.1. I didn't do much with it but it was up and running. In the process I learnt more than I really wanted to know about disk layouts, file systems and boot procedures. These all seem to be prerequisites for getting Xen to work. An unwillingness to dirty the mind with such details seems to be a recipe for failure.
