The above shows very basic settings to get Windows running on Xen with a CPU with virtualisation support. There are many, many configs and other setups out there for Windows on Xen. I used Windows7 as the domU guest. Three-four years ago on Xen3.0 I tried to get XP to run as domU. I did manage it, however I had to use kvm to get XP installed on a disk image, and then xen would run it as a domU. I had no such issues with Xen3.2 and Windows 7.
