Can you provide more details about _how_ you're attempted to perform the installation. Having this information will make it easier to see where things are going wrong.
Hi Thom, Well i have an iso file and followed the instructions on the redhat website to do a http install but when i copied the iso file over to the correct public directory it extracted all the files which then in turn i could not work out how to install it.

Have yout tried to mount the iso on a dir?
Like:
# mount -o loop windowsxp.iso /home/root/winxp/
and put it on the config?

Mark,
With all due respect to Ricardo, this is not the correct way to install Windows into a Xen guest.
Don't mount or do anything else with the ISO. All you need to do is add it to your config--Xen can read it directly.

Thomas,
You're right. From this procedure is not possible to install with iso mounted on a dir... I do it by other method..

Your CPU may not support the required virtualization extensions for running Windows in Xen.
This command
egrep "(vmx|svm)" /proc/cpuinfo
should provide some output. If it does not, you will not be able to run Windows on this particular computer.

HTTP installs are for RHEL guests (or others that support that type of install). For Windows guests, mount the ISO image in the guest's configuration. The guest should boot to the ISO when you first launch it (assuming your guests disk image doesn't have a bootable partition).
This link may help get you started. It's all command line, but it accurate for what you want to do.

I tend to prefer using the Virtual Machine Manager for my Xen configs, but it's really just a matter of preference. :-)
