I haven't seen this before, but for what it's worth, I just finished installing Windows 7 as a domU with the following disk line in my VM config file:

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sysvg/vm_windo_disk0,xvda,w', 'file:/vm/iso/windows_7_ultimate_64bit.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r' ]

Hey all,

I have attached a screen shot for everyone to see.

My issue here is that when trying to boot from .iso image to install windows 2008 r2, I get message saying

?A required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing?.  Where can I get this driver?

Below is the config.

ernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

builder='hvm'

memory = '1024'

device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

# Should be at least 2KB per MB of domain memory, plus a few MB per vcpu.

name = "windows"

vif         = [ 'ip=192.168.5.5,mac=00:16:3E:FE:C2:02,vifname=windows' ]

disk = [ 'file:/windows/xenwin2008.img,hda,w', 'file:/windows/winxpSP2.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d)

# default: hard disk, cd-rom, floppy

boot="dc"

sdl=0

vnc=1

vncconsole=1

vncpasswd=''

#serial='pty'

usbdevice='tablet'
