Hi all, Can I repair a windows guest machine by using the Microsoft Windows repair CD, that will require the system to boot from CD, and how to do that? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

If you use a ISO-image then you''d need to change the "boot=" line to not have "d" first. -- Mats _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Now I try to do that in SLES10 -SP1 but no change, I changed the (boot="c") line to (boot="dc"), and it still boots from disk. I think it reads the boot device from xenstore, but I do not know how to change that.
