Hi;

        I'm trying to get xen up and running.
        I have domain 0 working, I'm now wanting to
        configure domain 1 to run my second hard drive
        which is a Windows XP install on a fat32 format.
        (Instead of running the Windows drive under
        a file within the Linux partition, I'd like to be
        able to run the existing pre-setup drive, that way
        all the windows stuff, is all on the one drive
        which I can boot to if I ever need to.)

        My problem (I think) is in the root=??? line
        and I also think I have a couple of problems
        with the disk=??? line as well.

You don't load a Linux kernel for windows in an hvm environment. You
need to build xen with hvm support, have an VT enabled processor, and
use a hvm config. see the example xen config files. And you can search
the list archives and the wiki for "hvm" which is the term under
which, since a while, xen does the hardware virtualization stuff,
which you need to run unmodified windows.

HTH,
Henning
