Yes I can see the directory contents. I was able to get past this CDROM problem by disabling SELinux.

So if you do the following dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/myimage.iso then you should me able to mount it mount -o loop /tmp/myimage.iso /mnt If you do this can you see the directory structure in /mnt On Mon, 2006-12-04 at 10:48 -0800, Jimison, Ed wrote: Unfortunately it''s the same error as below.

I''ve been going this direction with no success. Here''s what I''ve done so far: 1. Copy CD ISO to Fedora system dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/w2k3.iso bs=1024 seek=4096k count=1 1. Edit config file /etc/xen/w2k3virt1 disk = [ ''file:/xen/w2k3virt1,hda,w'', ''file:/home/w2k3.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'', ] 1. xm create -c w2k3virt1 Error: Disk image does not exist: /home/w2k3.iso ________________________________ From: Andrew Cathrow [mailto:acathrow@redhat.com] Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2006 6:05 AM To: Jimison, Ed Cc: fedora-xen@redhat.com Subject: Re: [Fedora-xen] W2K CD installation error on guest Check the virtual machine settings and see if the CD is still configured.

I found a previous post that recommended using "Standard PC" and this helped me get past the original problem with a hung black screen. The next problem I''m running into is that once the Windows installer boots and begins the "Installing Windows" step, I immediately get this error window: Setup was unable to access files need to continue. This could be caused by an error on the CD Media or the CD is no longer present in the drive. Any advice?
