Windows under Xen needs to run as HVM guest, which needs special CPU
support (Intel VT/AMD-V). You need to select "full virtualization"
(HVM), which offers install from CDROM. If it's not available, then
most likely your CPU doesn't support it, or disabled by BIOS.

--paravirt creates PV guest, not HVM guest.
