Not as throughly as I expected, I booted from a winPE .iso and used 
diskpart to re-assign C: to the disk, the domU still boots, get the 
dialogue warning that at least one service failed to start, but won't 
allow administrator to log in properly, it just gets kicked straight 
out, tried a repair install and that wanted to go through re-validation 
of the windows licence, so I'll restore the LV from a disk image instead 
(wish I'd started another snapshot, but having upgraded one machine I 
thought I knew the right order to do it in).

It will need some considerable pointing out in release notes, have you 
considered automating the boot.ini changes?
Do you know what the other PV drivers do here to avoid this?

Sorry, the most I've done with 64bit windows on Xen is to install the 
30(?) day eval copy, just to see if it would run.
