Xen accepts all sorts of images. tap:aio prefixes with raw images are 
probably the most stable if you don't use solutions like iSCSI.

You edit a configuration file to start an image that points to your 
disk. Don't forget to set up the right partition scheme if required by 
the previous installation. If you dump the entire disk then then the 
partitions will be ok, otherwise you need to edit /etc/fstab inside the 
image or your configuration file outside the image.

Not required by your setup

Yes.
