Regarding boot = "dc"
Versus boot = "cd"
I believe D means CDROM & C means HD.  This would be like telling the BIOS
to boot from CD or the primary HD, also, if you install Linux to an HVM,
there is no "C:" and "D:" anyway.
I just wanted to clarify that for the thread.

Also, change

boot = "cd"

to

boot = "dc"

Once Xen properly sees your "hda", it'll be drive C instead of the cdrom
drive being drive C.

Cheers,

Velten,

You have an = (equal) sign where it should be a : (colon) under your disk
line.  Try one of the following lines instead:

disk = [ "file:/HDD250/WIN.img,hda,w",
"file:/HDD250/BX2EFPP_DE.ISO,hdc:cdrom,r" ]

or

disk = [ "tap:aio:/HDD250/WIN.img,hda,w",
"file:/HDD250/BX2EFPP_DE.ISO,hdc:cdrom,r" ]

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi, 

i have a fresh installed XEN 3.2-1 on an AMD BE2400 on Debian AMD64. 
Now I tried to install a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server. 

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/boot/hvmloader" 
builder = 'hvm' 
memory = 512 
name = "WinXP" 
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen-3.2-1/bin/qemu-dm" 
boot = 'cd' 
on_poweroff = 'destroy' 
on_reboot = 'restart' 
on_crash = 'restart' 
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ] 
disk = [ 
'file=/HDD250/WIN.img,ioemu:hdb,w','file:/HDD250/BX2EFPP_DE.ISO,ioemu:hdc:cd
rom,r' 
 ] 
vnc = 1 
vnclisten = '0.0.0.0' 
usb = 1 
usbdevice = 'tablet' 
stdvga = 0 
serial = 'pty' 
audio = 0 

It works, but the Windows installer didn't find a Hard Disk and so it 
can't install...
