Re: [Xen-users] Dual Booting

Hello,
I've questioned you before about the use of 3D and accelerated graphic
cards from inside a Xen guest and the conclusion is that its not
possible now if it ever will anytime soon.
So, my alternative would be to Dual boot between a Xen host and another
OS (Windows XP in this case). I wonder if Xen allows me to boot an
Operating System that is also used as a Dual boot option. I don't know
if I'm explaning myself correctly so here's an example: In grub I've
Windows XP and Linux (Xen Host), I can boot Windows XP and use it
natively. Alternatively I can boot the Xen host that will have several
guests, one of them that same Window XP instalation.
VMWare supports this,
Do you have a link for the document? I tried it few months ago but the
VMWare complained about sata disks.
Can Xen workarround this problem and allow this dual-boot & guest at
same time?
I have seen postings to this list all unsuccessful :( If anybody comment or
confirm that it is (im)possible to boot the same Windows installation in
Xen and on 'bare metal' it would be great.
Another question (unrelated to the main subject) I've about Xen is if
the Host can be used normaly, i.e., use X, Gnome, etc..., while having
one or several guests running?
I do have setup like this, but the guest is paravirtualized linux with
console only.
