Hello,

        So, Your Linux is also installed on /dev/sda? I would saz this will
be ot possible to boot, because from mz opinion xen wants to have an
exclusive access to the writable device -dev-sda, what is ot possible, if
the Dom0 already runs from this device.
        It You would have the second disk /dev/sdb with Linux used as Dom0,
i this case I think this should work - atz least the boot. But hte problems
come immediatelly after You boot to windows - because xen emulates all the
devices in other way like is the physical HW of Your computer, which has bee
already detected by the windows installation  - so even if I did not test it
with w2k3, I think, the boot process could very probably end with the
"bluescreen"...

Two more remarks to Your configuration - even if You would have the above
conditions fullfilled You can run into problems if using the configuration
described by You:
1. I do not know, if the property
cdrom= 
is still able to be used - in every case I would not mix the old syntax with
the new and instead of the line starting by cdrom= which I would delete I
would change the line with disk= as follows:
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda,ioemu:hda,w', 
         'file:/tmp/WINDOWS_2003_STANDARD.ISO,hdb,r' ]
2. I do ot know if You want to install/if You run 32bit or 64bit version,
but at least by the 64bit version I had to add the options 
acpi=1
apic=1
pae=1
to get it working - at least in the case You have problems, You should
experiment with this set of parameters.

With best regards

        Archie

arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
memory = 512

vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:94, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda,ioemu:hda,w' ]
