There are two places you should look. One is vdsm.log on the host
performing the import. And if you have oVirt 4.1 another place to look
at is /var/log/vdsm/import where the import logs are stored.

Install virtio-win package somewhere. In it, inside
/usr/share/virtio-win directory, you will find virtio-win-*.iso file.
