Dorian,

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-4.0/boot/hvmloader"
   builder='hvm'
   memory = 1048
   vcpus=2
   name = "win7"
   vif = ['bridge=xenbr0']
   disk = ['phy:/dev/Esp-Virt/,sda,w','/media/cdrom0,scd0:cdrom,r']

This disk line looks incorrect to me - the path to the lvm volume looks incomplete, should be something like /dev/Esp-Virt/windows ? Also, for the CDRom, it sounds like it's expecting to find an ISO image, since you've not specified the cdrom device, instead pointing at the mount point.

I can agree with your analysis. For one share, I put phy:/dev/Esp-Virt/win7,sda,w
For the other share, even if I add after all the iso name (maybe stupid question but what command shows the type of format buried on the dvd e.g. iso? In the mean time I checked it on M$ system and shows up like it is .iso) . I get the below alert. I'm unsure how to parse the parameters. If the details I provide below could help, I would be glad to know how sounds like cdrom device?
I get still the error; Block device must have physical details specified. what does it mean! Is this pointing to the cdrom device or to the logical volume part of the vg? Does it ask to format the volume lvm or should I in contrary be specifying its location?? I admit that I'm a little bit lost here and a lot confused.
