> How to install a guest using a virtual cd?

The easiest way is probably to use virt-manager GUI.
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Virtualization_Guide/sect-Virtualization-Guest_creation_overview-Creating_guests_with_virt_manager.html

Another alternative is to create a config file where the cdrom drive
or ISO is mapped to domU and it's set to boot from cd (for HVM
guests). See config examples on /etc/xen.

Creating PV guests from CD is a little more complicated, and it's
usually much easier to use network install instead (something like
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomU)

What are you trying to do, exactly? Are you trying to install Windows
HVM, Linux PV, or Linux HVM guest? Are you using single CD/DVD
installation media, or multipe CDs?

Regards,

Fajar
