I looked at some images in /var/lib/xen/images/ and since they have partition tables and look, to me, just like disks, I copied part of my hard disk to /var/lib/xen/images/WindowsXP.img

The reason is that I want to try the Windows XP that came preinstalled, and copying /dev/sda for a length I calculated includes the entire /dev/sda1 partition seems a likely way to test it.
These are the commands:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/var/lib/xen/images/WindowsXP.img count=76597082
dd of=/var/lib/xen/images/WindowsXP.img seek=320072933376 bs=1 count=0

I don't understand this second command. What's the input? Are you typing something on stdin (eg. ^D)?
