Martyzzz Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hi all, I am trying to install a Windows 11 VM on my new unraid server, it has an i5 12500, ASRock Z790 Pro RS/D4, ATX, S1700 and 32Gb DDR4 ram. There is a dedicated 1tb nvme drive for the windows vm and the drive gets detected after the virtio drivers are loaded. The ISO file is in the protected isos share, i have redownloaded this file 3-4 times. When creating the VM nothing weird happens but when the windows installation begins, after 10% i get an error about necessary files cant be installed and the installation is halted. I have tried i440 and Q35 bios and different versions, also tried SATA, IDE and SCSI. I tried different locations for the vdisk. I tried a windows10 iso. None of the above works. HVM and IOMMU is enabled, i do boot in UEFI mode. Any idea what the problem could be? Rgds, Martijn settings.pdf Quote Link to comment
ryanm91 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Did you try using a single CPU core during install? Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

Your setup shows a vdisk file in /mnt/user/domains, didn't you want to pass it through instead? Quote Link to comment

Only problem now is that i need network to finish the installation. Quote Link to comment
