Here is a good link: http://wiki.rpath.com/wiki/Xen_DomU_Guide
The Xen domU or HVM will treat the partition as a whole disk, so
that means MBR and stuff, but you can mount it on dom0 as such:
# fdisk -l -u /dev/es_storage/exch_data.1
Disk /dev/es_storage/exch_data.1: 218.2 GB, 218233831424 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 26532 cylinders, total 426237952 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/es_storage/exch_data.1p1 128 426220514 213110193+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
# mount -t ntfs -o loop,offset=128 /dev/es_storage/exch_data.1 /mnt
That will create an auto-loop mount of the partition at sector
offset 128.
