Hi all
I am trying to install Windows 2008 R2 x64 as guest OS. Installation
requires some additional drivers to be loaded. I suppose these are
virtio-win drivers. I downloaded latest virtio-win drivers, mountet iso
when it was required. I chose drivers under WIN8, but every time I load
those drivers, Windows crashes with BSoD. I tried to configure guest VM
with IDE disk, but then it still requires additional drivers.
So I am not sure anymore what drivers Windows is missing and how to add
them.

Have a look at the following page en the table that it contains. Is has
a nice listing coupling OS to the relevant folders in the iso you
mentioned. (Hint, use the Win7 folder ;-) )

Thanks
But when I chose drivers from WIN7 it says:
"No new device could be found. Make sure the driver files are correct and
located on the driver installation media."

Do you select the folder or do
you select 1 or more devices that are
presented?

I select WIN7 -> AMD64
There I have:
Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter
Red Hat VirtIO SCSI controller
Red Hat VirtIO SCSI pass-through controller
VirtIO Balloon Driver
VirtIO-Serial Driver
It does not matter if I select on by one or all together... Alway the same
error.

Weird, test setup is down at the moment so can't test it right now, but
might have time this evening using my home lab setup. Let the list know
if you find it otherwise I'll post tonight.

Tried to do the same with Windows 2008 x64, and still no luck...

I have just wiped my W2008R2 VM :-) and tried re-installing it. I might
have a clue what the problem is. Let me explain what my steps are:
- create a VM, setting the guest Operating System to Windows 2008 R2
- attach the win2k8r2.iso to it
- start it
- let the installer commence until it complains about the drivers
- Change CD in the webui to virtio-win-0.1-65.iso
- Follow the onscreen instructions and browse to (D:)\WIN7\AMD64
- Select all drivers (makes it easier later on)
- Now you'll get your window back asking where to install Windows AND a
yellow triangular stating: Windows cannot be installed to this disk
This is a fake error. What it means is that it can't find its windows
install media.
- Change CD in the webui to win2k8r2.iso
- Press Refresh in the Windows installer dialog to make Next active and
select your disk and install Windows

Thanks for your help, but as I said that Win2008 gives me "No new device
could be found. Make sure the driver files are correct and located on the
driver installation media." This error occures as soon as I load all
drivers (or just any one of them). I tried two different iso files with
2008R2 and 2008. I also tried two different virtio-win versions.
However I just tried also WIndows 7 Pro 32bit, and I was able to load
drivers for it and install it. The only notable difference is that Windows
7 is 32bit..

Hi there.
Hi had this before.
Try to configure with "Virtio SCSI Disk" instead of "Virtio Disk".
