Xen users - Jun 2006 - running wondows from ubuntu dapper

Hi folks,

I''m just in the process of installing ubuntu dapper on my new laptop,
which came with windows xp preinstalled.  For now I''ve kept the
original windows install in a separate partition, and I''m wondering if
it''s possible for me to access it from within ubuntu, using
xen''s
hardware virtualization.  The laptop is a Latitude D820, with a
CoreDuo T2400 CPU, and as I understand it the CPU does support Intell
VT-x.  But I''m entirely new to this game and I''m not sure how
to go
about it.  Have you got any pointers?

thanks,

matt

Matt,

I can''t say that I''ve tried this but you could try to point
the disk to the
physical disk Windows is on.

In your config file:
...
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/hda1,ioemu:hda,rw'' ]
...

Replace /dev/hda1 with the correct path to the windows partition.

Let us know what happens.  This is an interested test.

Regards,
Tony Hernandez
