After the install though, if I include the XVD driver,noneof my Windows settings appear to save over a reboot. This includes settings such as network (IP, etc..) and services (disabled, etc...).What device backend are you using? (eg phy: file: tap:aio etc) Jamesdisk=[ 'phy:/dev/mapper/nt0026,hda,w' ] Physical. Backend is an LVM slice.With the XP instance, I changed to xvda from hda once I had the drivers installed and noticed it appeared that would work :).I did not change away from phy: on the W2003 instances. JES Tried changing from hda to xvda. This resulted in continuous boot, install driver, reboot, install driver.... and sometimes blue screen on boot :(. So then changed phy:/ to tap:aio/ and first boot it installed the driver, but since then... it's looking good. Not asking for the driver to be installed and settings are staying changed. So, why is phy:/ wrong, and isn't phy:/ considered faster then aio:tap:/ ?Now I need to find some benchmark to run to show the affect of the new drivers :). JES Attachment:
