You can check my post on the reddit sub for details

Just want to add that I tried slipstreaming the Xen Windows PV VBD driver to an ISO (found some txtsetup.oem file https://github.com/spurious/win-pvdrivers-mirror/tree/master/txtsetup) but I get a xenvbd.sys not found message. I guess this is because the PV drivers on the official site are only compatible with Windows 7?

Any help appreciated.

Glad you got it. Liked what you said at the end, "While having an XP HVM
is at best useless and at worst dangerous, I'm glad I was finally able
to resolve this!"
