Xen users - Jul 2010 - SUE 3.11 with Xen 4 adding an XP guest OS

I have Suse 3.11 installed and installed the hypervisor.
 I can bring up Dom0 and use the console to add a XP SP3 VM.
I have converted A XP VMware image using the XenConvert.
I follow the steps:

Create a VM Machine
Select " I have an Image"
Choose Windows >XP,2000,2003

On the summary screen:
Full virtual method
Name- windowsxp
Hardware-512
Graphics- cirrus logic
Disks ???  this is where I get lost (not the same as VMware)
                I have selected the .vhd file that was converted (sitting on the
desktop) and get an error that there is no valid  boot sector.
I have tried every combo I can think of to get it to work.
My lack of Linux use has not helped.

My goal is to get the converted windows machine to run as a Xen VM in the SUSE
host.

Any help
Thanks
ken

Your steps look good, thats exactly what Ive done moving a win2008r2 
image to suse 11.3. The main difference being in the copied image 
already being a xen image.

What does fdisk l /your-image say? The output should show the 
image disk partitions and there should be a line with an asterisk under 
the Boot column for the boot partition.

You should also look at /var/log/xen/xend.log to see what xen tried to 
do and for more log messages.
