Hi Ray,

There's no automated way of reverting a single disk - you'll have to go through 
these steps:

- Shut down the VM
- clone the snapshot you want to revert to (xe vdi-clone)
- note the userdevice of the VBD connecting the VM to its disk, then destroy 
the VBD
- create a VBD (with the same device number as the VBD you just destroyed) 
connecting the VM to the cloned snapshot
- (optionally) delete the disk you just disconnected from the VM
