[Fedora-xen] W2K CD installation error on guest

[Jimison, Ed]

Thanks, Andrew. I've been going this direction with no success. Here's
what I've done so far:

 

1.	Copy CD ISO to Fedora system

      dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/w2k3.iso bs=1024 seek=4096k count=1

 

2.	Edit config file /etc/xen/w2k3virt1

      disk = [ 'file:/xen/w2k3virt1,hda,w',
'file:/home/w2k3.iso,hdc:cdrom,r', ]

3.	xm create -c w2k3virt1

      Error: Disk image does not exist: /home/w2k3.iso

Check the virtual machine settings and see if the CD is still
configured.
For example if you're w2k iso is in /opt/disks then make sure you have
something like the following


disk = [ 'file:/ .. your harddisk image ....',
'file:/opt/disks/w2k.iso,hdc:cdrom,r', ]

I've been trying to install W2K on Fedora Core 6. I found a previous
post that recommended using "Standard PC" and this helped me get past
the original problem with a hung black screen. The next problem I'm
running into is that once the Windows installer boots and begins the
"Installing Windows" step, I immediately get this error window:

 

Setup was unable to access files need to continue. This could be caused
by an error on the CD Media or the CD is no longer present in the drive.

 

Any advice?

Thanks,

Ed Jimison
