Just to save everyone interested a few minutes, I guess this should read:

bcdedit /set loadoptions GPLPV

However, if I install the drivers on Win2k8 and set the bootoption as 
mentioned
above and reboot, I get an "!" besides the Xen PCI device, and 
Harddisk/CDROM
are still named "QEMU *". Is there something else I need to be aware of?
May the missing signature be the problem? (BTW, I'm using version 0.9.2).

Bye,
