I have successfully mounted and NFS datastore from a windows 2003 system using SFU. I can read and write to the datastore without issue. I created a standard XP VM and was able to start it and boot from an ISO image however the install stops and says it can't find any hard drives to install XP on. The problem does not exist on local datastores.
The problem isn't NFS datastore, the problem is you need the buslogic drivers inside a VM to load the SCSI drivers, you can't start XP without on ANY filesystem. XP has no native SCSI controller drivers. So you have to load one from floppy image.
