also VMID.conf and the used virtio drivers.

you set the bootdisk to virtio0 but you have only a sata disk.?

fix the boot order (via gui).

I tried it before with virtio and changed it to sata for working.

works here, just tested with virtio network and block, using virtio drivers from the win7/amd64 directory.

With virtio and qcow just like the OP, I cannot load the driver either. I select it out of the w7 x64 directory and the OS returns NOTHING. I went through every directory on the virtio ISO and nothing works.

I'm using this ISO to load the drivers:

https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/bin/

I also want to note this worked fine in Server2008 R2 x64 but is not working in SBS 2011 Essentials x64. Both are based on Windows 7.

 

[tom]

tested again here. no problems. check your ISO image. the problem cannot be related to the virtio drivers.

Windows 7 and another install of 2008 R2 just went by without a problem. I'm using the same ISO for all of them.

 

[tom]

I talk about the win ISO.

I talk about the win ISO.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but the Windows ISO installs fine in VMWare and on real hardware.

 

[tom]

How did you transfer the ISO to Proxmox VE? do this again and check the size.

what i do when installing windows server is usually create a virtual floppy disk with -fda
try to start the vm, and then ssh to the host and enter the command

#ps ax | grep vmid

stop the vm
and start again with -fda /path/to/virtio-drivers.vfd

this things are obsolete, but might works
