Xen users - Nov 2006 - No cdrom in windows 2003 HVM guest

Hello,

I have a win2003 HVM guest running, however I cannot see a CDROM device
from the windows machine.

I have ''cdrom=/path_to_my_iso'' in the config file, and this
worked fine
for the initial OS install. Now there is no CD device that shows in the
windows device manager.

So, how do I get a CD device to show in win2003?

I''m using xen 3.0.3 compiles from source.

Thanks
-Adam

I wonder it worked.
Since 3.0.3 or so there is a new syntax for the cdrom device, like this:
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/sda,ioemu:hda,w'',
''phy:/dev/scd0,hdb:cdrom,r'' ]

With this settings I have access to the CDROM from windows.

My bad.. It worked on 3.0.2 when I installed the machine, and I had
since upgraded to 3.0.3.  With the fixed disk option I am now happily
CDroming again.
