Yes, that's the easy part.

For example, I'd like to see the "Once the Windows guest(s) are running"
part documented somewhere.

i.e., will the:

dd if=/dev/windows/disk of=/dev/LVM/windows

I see, you're physically moving Windows' C: D: etc. drives to Xen
servers hardware. This is akin to moving any installed Windows system
from vendor A's model 1 with motherboard B, host adapter C, and drive
model D to vendor Z's model 2 with motherboard Y, host adapter X, and
drive model W ..... As I mentioned before, this is probably documented
on www.microsoft.com somewhere... Or, is the good old
over-the-network-copy method an option?
