Have you tried to mount winxp.iso to see if the cdrom has been copied
to it?
Don't you have something like /dev/cdrom?

If winxp.iso is ok but you get nothing on xm create, make sure you
have all the required packages installed:

I had the same problem as yours (no windows opening and no cdrom
bootup), I installed these packages and all worked:
    * dev86: I compiled bin86-0.16.17.tar.gz sources because I didn't
find it using Synaptic or apt-get
    * sdl and sdl-dev: I compiled SDL-1.2.11 sources because Synaptic
and apt-get was reporting a dependency error installing libsdl1.2-dev
package (see Ubuntu forum)
    * libvncserver: I compiled LibVNCServer-0.8.2 and x11vnc-0.8.2
because I didn't find libvncserver with Synaptic or apt-get; I also
installed libvncserver-dev using apt-get
