One small correction, I found that I always had to do the 'invalid
device' thing first, eg:

"
xm block-configure bitdc02 phy:/dev/null hdc:cdrom r

sleep 1

xm block-configure bitdc02
phy:/installmedia/Microsoft/W2K3R2_x32_2_ent.iso hdc:cdrom r
"

Or else windows would never see the change, unless I did a right click
'eject' on the device under windows.
