[Xen-users] Domu skips CD on boot

[Chris <cjdl01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been working on this for hours now.  For some reason, my domu  
(windows xp) will not boot to a windows CD.
I have had windows running as a domu for like a year.  Now I have  
gotten a virus, and I have to boot to a windows rescue disk to fix it,  
but every time I do it, it always boots to the hard drive -- no matter  
what I put in my boot= or the disk= option.
I have tried boot="cd" and even tried boot="c" -- nothing works. I  
have changed my disk= declarations a million times to use iso images  
and phsycial devices, and to use xvdc, sdc and hdc -- nothing works.   
I even changed the hard drive to hde, xvde and sde to try to get it to  
boot after the cd.
The only way I can get it to boot to CD is to remove the hard drive  
declaration all together -- but of course, then have I cannot access  
my C:\ drive to fix it.
Can someone please tell me how I can do this?

Thank you.
