xen live cd - adding windows guests

download xen live cd image and burn it to a cd and boot the cd in your computer

it took ten min to boot in my case.

i have a 160 GB harddisk, with one 1GB NetBSD partition; the rest are not partitioned.

i want to install windows on Xen.

add a partition
after you have boot the Xen live CD, cretate a partition by running fdisk.

fdisk /dev/sda (sd means SCSI but i am sure my harddisk is not SCSI)

n
p

i added a primary parition of 50GB

create a filesystem for the partition
mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda2

mount it
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

to be continued....
