I get the list of choices on what to boot the machine with, I also
see SuSE 10.2 [Xen]. What I want to do now is get the Windows xp
partition to boot as a Xen guest OS.
I haven''t been able to find a concise document that describes an easy
process, but after surfing mailing list archives and the web for a
while, this is what I''ve found that comes closest:

http://www.mycomputingart.com/linux/Z24.xen3-ubuntu-amd64.html
These describe a...primitive...process. Do these capture the state of
the art, or have I missed something?
Mike,
I don''t know this if this hardware supports Virtualization, which I
believe is needed to run Windows in full-V. What you want to do is para-V.
In para-V, the most important thing to realize is that with Grub as your
bootloader your whole drive needs to be imported to your domU; further WinXP
needs to be default in Grub or you will likely freeze when starting your domU.
If you want speed, then you might want to try a full-V (if your HW supports it)
and skip para-V, which you will find is very slow.
I made a sparse file img for my NTFS drive and did full-V -- wow the speed
difference is huge.
hth,
Mark
