[Xen-users] Virtualizating Windows on Xen

["Juan Miguel Alcarria" <juanmiguelalcarria@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list!, this is my first mail, nice to meet you ;-)

The first, sorry for my english, this is not good, i am from Spain :-(

The second THANKS in advance ;-)

I am writing because I have a problem with the virtualization of M$ Windows on Xen.

All system works OK when I virtulize systems based on GNU/Linux. 

When I start my Windows Machine for make installation with the CD (iso). The Windows start OK until the installation say me "Press F2 (ASR)" (aprox.) in this moment the guest SO restart.
When Istart with other SO Knoppix, Wifiway (Based on GNU/Linux) all works very well.
If I start with ERD Commander (Based on M$) the guest SO  restart.

What am I doing wrong?
