Re: [Xen-users] boot a existing windows in hvm domain

["Brady Chen" <chenchp@xxxxxxxxx>]

thank you all,
looks like it's possible. it's great!

Z24,
do you get the hardware issue Archie said, that's my concern too.
you know, windows may be bluescreen if the hardware changes.

and for your case, i think you could install another grub in the windows disk

Archie,
I will let you know if it works after I have a try. hopefully next week.
