Windows 10 VM not booting with PVE 5?

[Kynao]

Hello,

I try windows 10 VM creation taking into account VirtIO driver .

i follow different guides like the official one from the wiki https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_10_guest_best_practices.

First strange thing : hardware section does not show the iso i fullfill through the vm creation wizard, see the following screenshot in my attached files.

On the other hand, we see the added cd to access virtio iso drivers.

I tried to start the VM and here is the result in the following screenshot in my attached files.
No Boot from cd, even if i go in the options and ask to prioritize boot from CD.

here are the settings i fullfill during the vm creation wizard : Win 10 / VirtIO 450GO QEMU qcow2 Write Back Cache / 1 Socket 4 Cores default KVM64 without NUMA / Fixed Size Memory 10240 MB RAM / Bridge VirtIO No Multiqueue.

I even tried to create window 7 vm with an install iso i use with success with proxmox 3, no way, it's still not booting.

One more info : I use proxmox 5 which is proposed on OVH dedicated servers with the offer "So you start" .

An idea?

This can't work, you have only insert on CD. You two, Windows and Virtio. You have only virtio.

you try to boot from the virtio iso, this will not work

you have to select your windows iso there
if you want to use the virtio iso during windows install, you have to add a second cdrom drive to the vm and select the virtio iso there

Thanks you fireon and dcsapak for your answers, i take your info into account right away and come back with a result.

in the meantime, considering i added the cdrom drive for Virtio drivers after the wizard, that still means the iso i specified during the wizard for the windows install were not taken into account as you both tell me to add it myself after the wizard.

EDIT, i forgot to mention that i already tried to add a cdrom drive for the windows iso install, but it simply does not appear in the hardware list (the one we saw in my screenshot), so it still does not boot, i've tried one more time right now.

EDIT 2 : as when i try to add a cdrom drive for the windows iso install, it is not shown, then i try to edit the added visible cdrom drive for virtio and choosed the windows iso instead of the virtio iso... but once i will ok and edit again, it's still the virtio iso which is fullfilled...

Is your Windows ISO stored in the same location as your virtio driver iso? If you go to the shell, what permissions can you see on the Windows install image iso? What happens if you change the bus type from IDE to SATA on the second CD drive?

Yes, i know this problem also with permission issues.

Thanks you TheFunk and fireon.

I should have updated the thread before. The solution is related with a basic problem : there were space in my iso filenames so proxmox does not accept it...so i suggest the gui push a warning in this situation which is useful for newbies like me and would avoid to let them guess and ask for help.
