OK, I finally made it!!
So for those willing to install Win XP on Dell Latitude D620, these are the
steps:
1) Press F5 at the very beginning of Win XP installation, just when it asks
to press F5 for additional RAID support.
2) This pops up a new selection caption where you can choose your hardware
architecture: do not choose ACPI architecture. I took "Standard PC"
3) Don't forget to add a cdrom device to your xen WinXP conf file, else it
will reboot but won't find the source disc
Win XP installs and reboots perfectly. Needless to say mouse management is a
bit crappie ;-) but TSE access to the Windows system is simply great (using
rdesktop)!!
Thanks for your help and replies
Cheers

I installed windows on fc6 x64 as follows:
1. first stage of installation ( just to when winsp tried to re-ipl)
I run on qemu. Actually qemu and xen use the same format of disk emulations.
2. After when winxp asked to re-boot, I constructed .hvc file with disk from
first stage and it worked OK since then.
Hope this helps.
