'file:/home/glenn/winosdvd.img,dvd,r'
                                             ^^^^^
change above to
hdc:dvd

that should be enough as long as you have the dvd as an iso

cd /home/glenn
dd if=/dev/dvd of=winosdvd.img

its not enough to copy the dvd to the drive it must be an iso9660 file type

Hi
Can someone confirm if its possible to boot of a udf image/dvd? If so what do
I need to change in the file below?

All my windows OS images are on DVD as part of my msdn subscription. In this
instance I've copied the image to Dom0 file system, but have tried physically
from the dvd also.

Here is my disk definition line:
disk=['file:/home/glenn/windows2003.img,ioemu:hda,w','file:/home/glenn/winosdvd.img,dvd,r']
but complete file is shown below.

The result of xm create is that ata0 slave is an unknown device, CDROM boot
failure code 0002


#Complete file for this HVM....
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-ioemu-3.0/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory=1024
name = "Windows2003Server"
vcpus = 1
vif = ['bridge=xenbr0']
disk=['file:/home/glenn/windows2003.img,ioemu:hda,w','file:/home/glenn/winosdvd.img,dvd,r']
device_model='/usr/lib/xen-ioemu-3.0/bin/qemu-dm'
boot='d'
fullscreen=0
sdl=1
vnc=0
vncviewer=0
serial='pty'
ne2000=0
usb=1
usbdevice='tablet'



Thanks
Glenn
