should be straight forward, see also http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2003_Server_on_KVM_(Video)

check the ISO file and post the output of:

pveversion -v

Hi,
look at the gui in Options of the VM - is the first boot device right?

The iso name is WinXPGR.iso

Udo yes its the first device!
I think its not mounted the iso or the cd!

this is the command that it creates my VM

/usr/sbin/qm create 101 --cdrom local:iso/WinXPGR.iso --name winxp --vlan0 virtio=4A:639:EA:48:A5 --bootdisk ide0 --ostype other --ide0 local:32,format=raw --memory 512 --onboot yes --sockets 1
Formatting '/var/lib/vz/images/101/vm-101-disk-1.raw', fmt=raw size=34359738368
VM 101 created

Hi,
only to be sure - you must after changing device-order and so on select "save".
Changing things there belongs the bios - you must stop the VM and start again.
