Thanks, Andrew. I’ve been going this
direction with no success. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

 Copy
     CD ISO to Fedora system

      dd
if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/w2k3.iso bs=1024 seek=4096k count=1

 Edit
     config file /etc/xen/w2k3virt1

      disk
= [ ‘file:/xen/w2k3virt1,hda,w’, ‘file:/home/w2k3.iso,hdc:cdrom,r’, ]

 xm
     create –c w2k3virt1

      Error:
Disk image does not exist: /home/w2k3.iso

installation error on guest

Check the virtual machine settings and see if the CD is still
configured.

For example if you're w2k iso is in /opt/disks then make sure you have
something like the following

disk = [ 'file:/ .. your harddisk image ....',
'file:/opt/disks/w2k.iso,hdc:cdrom,r', ]

I’ve been
trying to install W2K on Fedora Core 6. I found a previous post that
recommended using “Standard PC” and this helped me get past the original
problem with a hung black screen. The next problem I’m running into is that
once the Windows installer boots and begins the “Installing Windows” step, I
immediately get this error window:

Setup was
unable to access files need to continue. This could be caused by an error on
the CD Media or the CD is no longer present in the drive.

Any advice?

Thanks,
