I tried to install SBS 2011 Ess. with virtio driver HDD and network.

Network works fine but I'm not able to load the harddisk driver... .

( Using current virtio drivers )

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

fix the boot order (via gui).
 
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.
 
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.
 
I talk about the win ISO.

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
