[xen-discuss] Two Win 2k3 questions

[Russ Blaine]

Hi Ron,

How did you add the disk? Did you use virsh to modify the existing 
domain, or did you tinker with the XML directly? What happens if you put 
the hdb device before hdc, so the list is sorted? [shouldn't matter, but 
there could be a bug there]
