RE: [Xen-devel] It is possible to install Windows XP with intel vt now ?

["Zhao, Yunfeng" <yunfeng.zhao@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, you can install a windows xp into hvm guest.
The instructions about instalingl an unmodified os into hvm guest could be 
found in the xen manual.

First you need a xp install iso file or cdrom.
And modify config file of hvm, enable cdrom='/dev/cdrom' or 
cdrom='/<xp_iso_file_name>' and enable boot='d' in the config file.
Then create a hvm guest with the config file.
After this you will see windows xp installer is running in a qemu window, and 
then you just need to follow the install wizard to finish the installation.


Thanks

Hi everybody, 

ÂI seen many post on running Windows XP on the top of Xen with proper hardware 
(Intel Vt) ... I would like to know if at this time, i could do that with Xen 
3.0.2-2 or Xen unstable ? If yes, could you tell me the procedure ... 

In 2 week i will make a show with Intel to demonstrate this possibility ... If 
at this time we couldn't, i will change the contents of the show ;)

Thanks

Michael
