Hi!

I'm newbe in Proxmox virtualization.

My problem in installation of Windows 7 (or Server 2016) as VM in Proxmox 5.0-29 with last updates from pve-no-subscription reposotory. Proxmox installed on 2x HDD of 500Gb in zfs RAID1. When i try to install Windows as VM i have crash with reboot of Poxmox on file copy step in windows installer, I have installed only WinXP, on Win7/Server I tried IDE, SATA, SCSI and VirtIO storage interface for virtual HDD.

After reboot of Proxmox i have VM in "BOOTMGR is missing..." condition.

The same situation on two different machines (2011 and 1151 sockets).
 
The Windows 7/Windows 2016 VM, do you have cache = "writeback" set to enabled in hardware>hard drive of proxmox? IIRC writeback has to be enabled when running Windows VM from a ZFS pool.
