I am trying to install WinXP as a virtual machine on Fedora 6.
I go through the steps using the Virtual manager in Fed6. It gets to the point where WinXP installation needs to reboot to proceed with the installation. Once it shuts down I am no longer able to start it and continue with the installation.
What do I need to do after it reboots in the Virtual manager? How do I get it to start again?
Thank you,

Presuming that you called your domain "winXP" and your winxp install image is in /opt/disks/ and is called winxp.iso
Run "xm list" do verify that the domain is not running.
Edit /etc/xen/winXP file.
you'll have a line for disk that looks something like:
disk=[ 'file:/my/vm/location/disk.img,ioemu:hda,w',]
Edit that line to include your winxp cd.
disk=[ 'file:/my/vm/location/disk.img,ioemu:hda,w','file:/opt/disks/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r',] If you have a boot= line then make sure it's boot = 'c'
Then start the domain with xm create winXP
