Hi Bill,
I am assuming that you are using virt-install to create your windows XP
VM. When you first run virt-install it mounts a cdrom drive on your VM
(the iso you selected). When your VM restarts after windows initial
text based install no cdrom is mounted, therefore it cannot find the
files on the cd. A quick workaround to this is to run the intial
install using virt-install, wait for windows to reboot and complain that
it cannot find the files. Shut down your VM now and delete the domain
using 'xm delete' so that it no longer appears when you run 'xm list'.
Now re-run the same virt-install command using the same disk image and
iso location. Your VM will restart the windows setup where it left off
but with the cdrom drive mounted.
Hope that helps,
-Christian
