Microsoft is announcing end of life for Windows 2008 Server and we have not been able to install any flavors of Windows 2012 as they do not recognize any of the drive/storage. What version of Windows Server later than 2008 would you recommend and any resolution with the problem?

Thanks
 
2012 r2 runs like a charm for me, installed using 'supported' IDE disk (QCOW2) / E1000 nic config. Once installed changed NIC to Virtio and added 2nd Virtio HD as disc 1. Installed Virtio drivers when new hardware detected etc.

Once both have been installed, shutdown the VM, remove the original boot disc, it will then be listed as un-allocated, re-add this disk as a Virtio I/O 0. Restart the VM to be 100% virtio, don't forget to change your boot order for the new Virtio 0 disc.

Short way:

1. Add VIRTIO disk.
2. Install Windows
3. Change disk to virtion driver iso.
4. Add drivers.
5. Change back disk to windows install.
6. Continue install.
 
Hello, I have once again ran into a issue installing Windows Server 2012 R2 on my Proxmox 3.4 system. The error I'm getting says:
No new devices drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK.

I have the hard drive set as virtio, but have also tried the other options as well. I have the windows .iso and the virtio-win.iso in separate CD/DVD drives. This is the guide I followed: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2012_guest_best_practices
Thanks in advance for any help given.
