Since Windows Server 2008 falls into the Xen category of an unmodified operating system (in other words an operating system that has not been altered specifically to be run as a Xen domainU) the only way to virtualize Windows Server 2008 using Xen is to configure it as a Hardware Virtual Machine (HVM) guest, a concept also known as full virtualization.
