Re: [Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.

The thing i do not understand here is that when i hit browse, it shows a 
cdrom (d drive) and an x drive(win PE virtural drive). But no hard drive.
could this be a really stupid error message where windows mean to tell me 
that it can not find a hard drive?
