You missed my point.

The disk is uninitialized (i.e. doesn't have partition). This is
normal in the case of (for example) virtual disk image (xen,
virtualbox, SAN storage, whatever). Most OS installer can handle that.

If your OS installer doesn't. then ask in their respective
support/forum/list. If it can be installed in
virtualbox/vmware/external SAN disk, then it can be installed in Xen.
It's often is as simple as that.

A different issue is if the installer doesn't detect the disk at all,
but that doesn't seem to be your case.
