WIndows (10/7) VM's will not install

[robertoal]

So just setup another server:

3770K - 32gb MEM - etc.

 

Now it is simply impossible to install windows into a VM! 

Original windows 10 ISO - gets a BSOD just before installer loads

Downloaded windows 10 ISO - gets to the second stage, getting file ready for installation,  and quits with: 0x8007025D

Windows 7 just hangs on booting.

 

The log says:

Domain id=6 is tainted: high-privileges

 

And not much else...

 

I tried the following:

- Both BIOS versions

- Setting cdroms to SATA

- With the 'illegal' windows version I load the drivers as stated in the tutorial (balloon/kvm/vioserial/viostor)

- Tried formatting the drive before installing to no avail (tip from google)

 

Observed following:

- Strangely phase 1, Copying windows files, completes instantly..

 

Some help please!

Try setting the number of cores on the VM to be only a single one for the initial installation.

Thanks for your reply!

Unfortunately... This did not work. Any other ideas?

Just tried installling ubuntu server en desktop.. both work fine. and quite fast as well.

Tried installing windows 7 with the settings:

Display driver: cirrus

Machine type 2.4

 

This did the trick for windows 7.. but I want windows 10!

 

Almost tried every different setting available running out of options.

Anybody?

I did this recently and it worked fine.

 

Given that you are getting different results with different ISO's, the ISO you are using comes into question.

 

Did you precisely follow this video guide?

What version of unRAID are you using? (I installed on 6.3.5).
