[Fedora-xen] W2K CD installation error on guest

[Jimison, Ed]

Unfortunately it's the same error as below. The file is definitely
there.

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

The dd command is the issue,it's not going to produce a valid image.
Youlre seeking 4096k and reading one block.
Just do dd if=/dev/cdrom of=myimage.iso

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

 

1.	Edit config file /etc/xen/w2k3virt1 


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

1.	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,
