hi all
I'm unable to install windows 7 RC on promox VE 1.3
During install (using install CDROM !!), Windows 7 says that it doesn't reconize any driver. (don't know for witch peripheral)




Any idea ?
 
for windows guests please use e1000 as network and IDE as disk type. win7 works without any issues with these settings.
 
Same problem : it says that a CDROM driver is missing...

  3. version of proxmox ve (run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade)
  4. are you on OVH?
  5. please post your /etc/qemu-server/VMID.conf

Did you tried copying the .ISO file into your PVE HW node and mount the ISO as your cdrom to the VM?

Hi
I've tried with another DVD-RW, it works....
It seems to be a common trouble with 7.
Thanks a lot
 
Bumping an old thread but I just ran into this same problem when I tried to use dd to copy some Windows 7 DVD disks off the SATA cdrom.

Code: 
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/var/lib/vz/template/iso/Windows_7-x64.iso

I ended up getting past the problem after getting copies of the original ISO files loaded onto the Proxmox 1.5 server.

My thanks to the previous posters for sharing their solution.
 
I had the same problem a time ago.

It turned out, that KVM has ejected the ISO after searching for drivers in Windows 7.
Check if the ISO is still mounted under the hardware-tab on the VM-page.
