This is a known limit of ovirt.  You can use the Same ISO / floppy disk 
for windows that is used for RHEV.  For whatever reason the floppy isn't 
available from Red Hat any-more.  You can get the last known release of 
it using the way back machine.

I have no access to RHEL to confirm but I have been told that RHEV 
drivers work fine under ovirt.

CentOS you can download those from 
http://wiki.dreyou.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/ovirt_rpm_start .  You need to 
add the repo listed at the top and then if you look at the bottom there 
is the install for the guest.

Thanks
Robert
