The following is my input to "xm create" for a Win2k3 installation (yes,
I was lazy and re-used the winxp config file, so some things reference
"winxp" instead of "win2k3" - you may want to search for "win" and
manually replace it with a suitable name). 

You'll probably also need to replace the "phy:/dev/hdd,hdc:cdrom" with
whatever your physical CDROM drive happens to be in your system). 

I don't know for sure that this works for win2k, but I would think so
(although there's something funny about Win2k and the speed of writing
to the screen during that first startup-phase that may not work in
AMD-systems).

Probably possible, but I've never tried.
