Did you do a full install, or are you just trying to boot an already installed system with xen?

I mean, was it previously an install that was on real hardware before? Then forget it. Windows is not so smart to be able to deal with changing hardware so nicely. It sometimes can handle single device changes, but not the complete hardware it runs on. And that''s basically what you do there. Finally that''s what I found out p2v tools must be mainly useful for after discussing a while about their use and need... Better do a new install, or, look for those shiny tools. I have no experience with them, I''d rather reinstall whenever possible.

Sorry. My guess was just that an install copied from a real hardware install is likely to produce strange effects.
