[pcace]

Expected behaviour

Windows 11 installs

Actual behaviour

i get into the windows setup, but there is no disk selectable in setup.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

• create a config:

guest_os="windows"
disk_img="windows-11/disk.qcow2"
iso="Win11_23H2_German_x64v2.iso"
fixed_iso="virtio-win-0.1.240.iso"
tpm="on"
secureboot="off"
cpu_cores="6"
ram="16G"
disk_size="300G"

--> quickemu --vm windows-11.conf

Why is this closed? The problem persists.

Hi,

I just run into the same problem, but I added a second CDRROM device with the virtio-win image, and upon clicking "Load controllers", I was given some options. For Windows 11, the obvious one was E:\amd64\viostor\w11\viostor.inf. The hard drive was then found. I took all this from Virt-manager from Manjaro

UPDATE: actually, I encountered this problem when setting up a VirtIO virtual disk. Win 11 does detect a SATA disk with no extra drivers required.

I confirm that I also experienced the issue and I had to manually select the driver E:\amd64\viostor\w11\viostor.inf to make the drive appear.

Why was this closed? It's a legitimate issue someone is having. At the very minimum, could you at least provide information as to why this problem is invalid?
