No drives during Win2k19 server install (using Fedora virtio ISO)

[SOLVED].

Hello,

First time installing a Windows guest in PVE. Found a couple different guides that point o using the Fedora VirtIO drivers during custom installation.

Details:
- PVE 6.0-5
- Virtio-win-0.1.141.iso
- Windows Server 2k19 (using the Win10/2016 mode in PVE)
- SCSI controller = virtIO SCSI
- Storage is a few ZFS datasets (for C drive and logs) created through PVE gui.

If it matters, my CPU type for the VM is "host" since this is a standalone PVE server. Does it need to be KVM64 for Windows guests?

Solved...

When browsing the fedora virtio iso disc, one guide said to dig through \NETKVM\... on the disc.

According to PVE docs:

The correct folder for storage drivers is actually in \viostor\...
