Not tried Win 7, installed win 2008 R2 and it works fine.

Try changing the video to Standard VGA.
That has fixed Windows issues for me in the past, maybe it will help you.....

Hi,
did you use win7 32bit or 64bit ?

did you install only with ide, than restart and have the problem ?
or did you install it directly with virtio ?

I added 2nd cdrom with fedora drivers and loaded virtio drivers during install.
64bit, Windows 2008 R2 and everything newer is only avaliable as 64bit.

I had a similar problem a long time ago, with win2003 install, with virtio install.

When you install, do you have set cdrom as boot disk ?
then when install is finished, put your virtio disk as boot disk ?

because, it can change pci slot or drive order, and windows doesn't see them in good order.



maybe you can try this.

put a blank disk, on virtio0
put your win cdrom on ide1 and virtio drivers on ide2.

the start you vm for install with boot set on virtio0

(so it will try to boot on virtio0, then on cdrom (as virtio0 is blank,it'll try to boot on next device), so order will not change on reboot).

hope It can help.



(another method is to install on ide, and install virtio drivers after).

Hope It can help.
