Problem during Windows 7 installation - error 0X80070570 "uncompress..."

[k1lerbee]

still same error.. anyone has an idea?

sidenote: I often get an error with locking conf file when trying to stop or restart my VM:
trying to acquire lock...
TASK ERROR: can't lock file '/var/lock/qemu-server/lock-100.conf' - got timeout

My experience with proxmox has been really rocky so far... the vnc session via the web browser is not ideal.. there's a lag with the mouse cursor.. sometimes... my keyboard inputs are not taken into account.
It is just not the stable fluid experience I thought I was going to have with proxmox reading all the good reviews about it

I managed to install a ubuntu vmware but I am getting frequent errors on it.
I suspect my HDD may be faulty but in Disk health, it says "PASSED"... so my HDD is good right?

I switched HDD .. first install of windows 10 went well but had issues and errors in the windows.. So decided to re-install it... boom same errors as before ... proxmox starting to get on my nerves... I will try other hypervisors

I give up going to try xenserver instead

I suggest trying a different PC with a known good SATA disk and at least 8-16GB ram. If the same Windows 10 ISO works fine, there must be an issue with your first machine. Try changing SATA disks, change SATA cabling, change SATA port, check BIOS settings for Intel virtualization enabled (or AMD-V aka SVM), check for BIOS updates.. If you want a more responsive VNC session try SPICE; https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/SPICE

I installed windows on the same machine (the machine on which I also installed proxmox) and it worked fine.

I also just tried installing proxmox and the windows vm on another SSD ... an intel one. Same error....

so windows installed well on bare metal.. but not as VM..

You can try installing Fedora on your system and see if it works with KVM virtual machines. If not, then there's some BIOS issue or your CPU is not supported.
