Re: [Xen-users] New problem with winxp

[Art Fore <art.fore@xxxxxxxxx>]

I did find that rebooting would allow a new cdrom,but did not know about
the ctrl+alt+2. I tried it, but it goes t a black screen saying HVM
device model, press q to quit, (HVMxen) device it not removable. Press q
then enter and it crashes windows. This does not sound good at all. In
addition to not being able to use sound also, this makes WinXP nothing
more than a web browser.
