Paravirtualized Network Drivers for Windows don't work on Windows 2003r2 64
After installation have this problem. ("Can't load driver for this device" in properties). Driver from XP/amd64 folder of Virtio-win-0.1-49 and Virtio-win-0.1-74 iso - anyway same result.

yes, newer version does not work. either go for an older version, or just keep IDE, working without any further drivers and also not slow.
 
never heard of IDE network drivers... :-D

I use intel 1000 (from intel, not included in windows) for w2003...

ups. of course, intel e1000 for net (and IDE in case of block devices)
 
I use virtio 0.1-49 on 7 W2K3 64-bit machines and they have excellent performance.. ( any version higher causes BSOD )
 
1-2 or 3 reboting system. Locate driver from folder with errors. I don't undersrand - now working with 1-74.. brr.. Thanks all... but anyway very interesting.
