 My basics steps are:
 1) Import registy entries as in this doc:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314082/

 2) vmware-vdiskmanager -r windows2003.vmdk -t 0 windows2003-flattened.vmdk

 3) qemu-img convert windows-2003-flattened.vmdk windows2003.img

 4) 2 and 3 I used a windows machine so then I ftp the img file to my
xen server.

 5) mount the img file and copy in hal.dll. Once in a while I can't
modify the img file so I have to redo 3 and 4

 6) then I use virt-manager to create a new domU and specify the img
file for the hard disk.

 I've done three that have worked fine. Another one refuses to boot. It
 tries, but the processor utilization for that domU goes to 100% and it
 never loads. Really don't know why and I'm stuck on that one.

 Once I'm happy with it, I dd it to an lv.

 HTH,
 James
