I've never used virt-manager, so can't speak for it's idiosyncrasies.

Just to confirm, this is a message on the window which pops up after
you do xm create, and not something in one of the Xen logs?

What if you say
disk = [ 'file:/home/afore/VM_images/WinXP,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/hdc,hdc:cdrom,r']
instead?
Steven.
I gave up on X86-64. I installed 32-bit x86 smp Suse
10.1 and will try it. Sorry I got your message too late. Did already try the 3.0.3 rpm update from xensource website, that was again a disaster. Instructions wrong again. Had to reinstall as it screwed up my system so bad, it was faster than researching all of its problems even with the non-xen kernel. If Suse
10.1 does not work, will give it one more try with Fedora FC6 32-bit before I throw in the towel and get VMware or try Parallels I know parallels works on 32-bit as I have it on my old inspiron 8500, but it is a little too slow for cad work. Will see how it works with smp.
