Paravirtualized
^^^^ This is your problem.
You need to install Windows XP as a fully virtualized guest - make sure you select 'Full virtualization' at this step of the install wizard in virt-manager.

NB, if 'fully virtualized' is grayed out as in this screenshot then your CPUs does not support hardware virtualization and it is not possible todo Windows under Xen.
install media url is /dev/scd0 my normal disk partition is /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol03 there is no file system on the logical volume and it is not mounted I chose peth0(bridged) as my physical device I have two NICs, eth0 and eth1, if it matters 500 MB and 1 virtual CPU when I click Finish, I get
Unable to complete install '<type 'exceptions.ValueError'> Invalid file location given: No such file or directory
This is because its trying todo a paravirtualized install and looking for the Linux install media. Make sure you select fullvirt
