Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] It is possible to install Windows XP with intel vt now ?
Yes, you can install a windows xp into hvm guest.
The instructions about instalingl an unmodified os into hvm guest could be 
found in the xen manual.

First you need a xp install iso file or cdrom.
And modify config file of hvm, enable cdrom='/dev/cdrom' or 
cdrom='/<xp_iso_file_name>' and enable boot='d' in the config file.
Then create a hvm guest with the config file.
After this you will see windows xp installer is running in a qemu window, and 
then you just need to follow the install wizard to finish the installation.


Thanks
Yunfeng

Hi everybody, 

 I seen many post on running Windows XP on the top of Xen with proper hardware 
(Intel Vt) ... I would like to know if at this time, i could do that with Xen 
3.0.2-2 or Xen unstable ?  If yes, could you tell me the procedure ... 

In 2 week i will make a show with Intel to demonstrate this possibility ... If 
at this time we couldn't, i will change the contents of the show ;)

Thanks

Michael
