How to install Windows XP on CentOS 5 ?

I'd recommend you to install VMware Server 2 and install XP true that, but this won't work on a VPS!

In this post I will explain on how to Install windows XP on Xen virtualization engine in CentOS 5.
In comparison to VMware based virtualization .. this one might be a bit behind in term of functionality and user-friendliness.
Prior to the installation process.. make sure you had the Windows XP Installation CD handy or
copy it into the system itself in iso format..with these command.
Read through the feature list before starting..

assume you CD-Drive is /dev/hda and the destination as /data/iso/
Copy from Windows Installation CD to ISO files
dd if=/dev/hda of=/data/iso/XP3_3282_V2_EN.iso

then only start ..
