Thread-topic: [Xen-users] SBS 2008 install finds no disks
>The install starts OK, but when I get to the disk part of the

My first inclination was you used the xvd syntax that is not applicable to an 
hvm, but you haven't. Aside from the use of " where I use ' in my config I have 
the same thing with Windows 2008 setups and I am running many.

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vms/xxx_snap,hda,w', 'file:/iso/xxx.iso,hdc:cdrom,r']

Boot into the install, and at the disk selection portion, type Shift-F10 I 
think or one of the Function keys and launch a shell.

Diskpart --> list disk

Look at what it shows. My guess it's a problem with the physical disc you are 
trying to export into the hvm which could be from many reasons. FWIW, I export 
all lv's into my h/pvm's.
