Hi,
I''ve been working on this for hours now. For some reason, my domu
(windows xp) will not boot to a windows CD.
I have had windows running as a domu for like a year. Now I have
gotten a virus, and I have to boot to a windows rescue disk to fix it,
but every time I do it, it always boots to the hard drive -- no matter
what I put in my boot= or the disk= option.
I have tried boot="cd" and even tried boot="c" -- nothing
works. I
have changed my disk= declarations a million times to use iso images
and phsycial devices, and to use xvdc, sdc and hdc -- nothing works.
I even changed the hard drive to hde, xvde and sde to try to get it to
boot after the cd.
The only way I can get it to boot to CD is to remove the hard drive
declaration all together -- but of course, then have I cannot access
my C:\ drive to fix it.
Can someone please tell me how I can do this?
Thank you.
my configuration file (one iteration of it, anyway...):

arch = os.uname()[4]

arch_libdir = ''lib64''

Oh jeez... nevermind... I got it. It had been so long I was reversing the codes... not very intuitive, I''d say, but clearly my fault. d = cd c = hard drive duh.

I mean shouldn''t "c cd", and "d = drive", a closer abbreviation? Turns out it makes perfect sense for DOS/WIndows user. Drives A and B are floopies, C = first hard drive, D = first cdrom :D -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Yeah, that occurred to me later, but it still doesn''t hold much water in my book. I have seen a million dos/windows systems where d was NOT the cdrom, but rather E or F. If those drives were absolute, I could see it, but they change from system to system -- and lets not forget -- xen runs on linux systems... so why the dos convention? No problem though, it had just been too long since I needed to mess with it, and I simply forgot. A review of the docs put me to right :) Quoting "Fajar A.
