Fedora xen - Jul 2007 - Trouble installing Windows HVM on 3.1

All, 
Whether I utilize the DVD or ISO image, once the initial setup is
completed, rebooted and restarted, 
I get the following pop-up: 
"The file ''asms'' on Windows XP Professional Service Pack
2 CD is needed"

Has anyone experienced and solved this problem using x64?

windows x64 ?
or
linux x64 and windows x86 ?

i compose win iso''s with nlite
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLite

- unattend installs,
- all sp''s/updates,
- no unneeded grap,
- no hassle with asms files/dir''s
- small iso''s
- ...

to your above question:
up to now i was under the impression that nlite among other things
deletes some stuff, esp. asms dir, also.
but this is not the case for my lastly created iso.

i install that xp (x86) iso''s under f7 (x64) with qemu-kvm !

and i believe the internal "mechanics" to do a xp installation with
virt-manager under a xen kernel makes not diff. to me.

maybe i''m wrong ?


but i tried it now and it leads me to your initial question:
do you mean the xp installation prompts you for file asms from

	*GLOBALROOT\DEVICE\CDROM\I386*

???????????

if so then it''s described/discussed here:
https://virt.108.redhat.com/articles/2007/01/15/xen-guest-installation.pdf

page 5...

let me know if that was your question !

This may be this well-known problem with installing Windows using 
virt-manager, notably after the first reboot the CD-ROM device 
disappears and must be readded manually:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242291

(That''s a bug report against KVM, but the same happens with Xen for
me).
