Running Windows XP in Xen from its own partition

Some months ago I made some experiments with Xen and I succeeded to install and run Windows XP as a guest using Xen 3.0. In that case Windows was located in a single file and was installed through Xen. My purpose now is to make Xen running an already installed Windows from its own partition. Just to be more specific, this is my machine configuration:

• Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6.06 is located on a SATA disk, set as first boot disk
• Windows XP is located on a EIDE disk, set as second boot disk
• Dual boot is made by grub

I want to log into linux and run my existing Windows XP from its own partition on the EIDE disk.
