Just to check : does Windows have to be installed on a FAT partition to run inside Xen ? Or can it be on an ntfs partition ?

Also, I have two lines in /var/log/xend.log :

[2006-06-08 20:28:14 xend] DEBUG (blkif:24) exception looking up device number 
for hda: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/hda'
[2006-06-08 20:28:14 xend] DEBUG (DevController:103) DevController: writing 
{'state': '1', 'backend-id': '0', 'backend': 
'/local/domain/0/backend/vbd/1/768'} to /local/domain/1/device/vbd/768.

But when I change
disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/windisk.img,ioemu:hda,w' ]

to

disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/windisk.img,ioemu:sda,w' ]

I get

# xm create myxm.hvm
Using config file "myxm.hvm".
VNC= 1
Error: hvm: for qemu vbd type=file&dev=hda~hdd

And the domain doesn't start.
Thanks,
Jean-Baptiste Rouquier
