Unfortunately it’s the same error as
below. The file is definitely there.

image does not exist: /home/w2k3.iso

The dd command is the issue,it's not going to produce a valid image.

Youlre seeking 4096k and reading one block.

Just do dd if=/dev/cdrom of=myimage.iso

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

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,

Ed Jimison
