Error on first boot of VM. Can't read CDROM to install win7

Featured Replies

I'm following the sticky at the top of this sub "[Guide] Create a Windows 7 VM with Xen on unRAID 6"

 

Everything goes fine until after step 7.  I connect with VNC to see the VM trying to boot but failing to find a boot device.  The screen shows "Booting from cd/dvd" "Boot Failed: Could not read from CDROM (code 0004)".  It continues to look for a hard drive, network boot, fails, then retries in 60 seconds.  So it never boots off the Win7 iso so I can install windows.  I've tested the iso and it appears to be ok.  I presume I have a typo in a path or something but I can't find it.  I believe I named everything exactly the same as in the guide.

 

 

Here are my settings

 

unRAID v6.0b12

 

From inside putty

root@Tower:/mnt/cache/VMs/Windows7# dir
Win7x64.iso  Windows7.cfg  Windows7.qcow2
