Question:
- you have Fedora Core 6 as dom0 then
you have SuSE10 as domU and on top of this domU you want to install XP???
forget it!

or 

-  you have Fedora Core 6 as dom0
and you want XP as domU? where is then the relation to SuSE/Novell? 

but probably your BIOS doesn't support
Virtualisation... search the entire BIOS for that ... specialy in that
places you never think that it could be :-)
