Full-screen is not currently supported for HVM domains. There are a
number of problems with this. You can solve some (but certainly not all)
by replacing the "qemu-dm" in the config file with a script that adds
"-full-screen" (or whatever it's called) to the "qemu-dm" command-line.
You can probably find some more info on this if you search the archive
here on Xen-users and on xen-devel.

Using the form "phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r" or
"file:some-filename-with-path,hdc:cdrom,r" should get the CDROM visible
in Windows. I just tried it with my WinXP install, and I can read the
MSDN Vista install DVD with that setup. 

Note: I'm NOT using Virt-Manager - not because there's something wrong
with it, but rather because I'm just using the tools that are available
from XenSource.
