I only have experience with PVMs, but I wonder why doing:

xm block-attach ${domid} phy:/dev/cd-rom /dev/sdd r

I guess this doesn't work with HVM?

The other thing I do... just in general is make .iso images and loop 
back in Linux when I need them and in Windows there are .iso mount tools 
like VirtualCD (or Alcohol?).
