Hi,

I created a logical volume for usage by a guest OS: Windows XP. When Windows 
starts the setup and comes to the partitioning part, no partition can be 
created. When I hit 'C' (create partition) and provide the partition size, 
setup returns to the same previous screen where I need to hit 'C' again.. it 
looks like its looping..

Another issue is that the .iso image of Windows XP (created with `dd 
if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/winxp.iso`) cannot be used during creation of the new 
guest OS. It fails. When I provide '/dev/cdrom' the guest OS boots from cd. I 
can't figure out why.

I'm running RedHat FC6 and used the Xen version shipped with FC6. I suspect 
it is version 3.0. I also want to upgrade that version to 3.1 later on. The 
above might be related to version 3.0?

Thanks for your response.

Regards,
Rob
