Hello
I have a 40 gig raw image of a hard disk (created using dd) that loads
a Windows OS. I would like to load this image as a Windows VM inside
Xen. I have been trying to boot of this disk using the following config
file

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder = 'hvm'
memory = 1536
name = "mcforen"
vcpus = 1
disk=['file:disk2bak.iso,hdc:cdrom,r']
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
cdrom = '/dev/hda'
stdvga=0
sdl=1
vncviewer=0
usbdevice='tablet'
audio=1
serial='pty'
boot='c'

However I get the following error when the VM loads
Boot from Hard Disk failed: could not read boot disk

Any ideas how I should proceed to load this raw image in xen ?
Thanks
Sujata
