Well, first of all you're not giving enough details. What OS/distro,
what version, which version of Xen, etc.

Second, it's usually best to start with known-good-setup. For example,
use RHEL/Centos5 with its bundled Xen, and install windows domU using
virt-manager/virt-install or from the example on /etc/xen/xmexample*

Third, if you look at this

and this

and this

possibly Xen failed to access the disk image. Some possible causes :
- the image file is not there
- xen userland programs does not have permission to access it
- Selinux is preventing Xen to access that file
- udev is dead

... and so on. For example, I believe RHEL's default image location is
on /var/lib/xen/images. So with the default setup and using images on
/home, you'll almost certain to get a failure.

Again, start with known good configuration first, then after you get
it working you can change it according to your needs.
