[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1352465] [NEW] Can't install virtio block drivers during Windows setup

[Lorenzo]

Public bug reported:

Hi!
Apparently there's no way to install the virtio block drivers during Windows 
setup, as they're simply not recognized by the installer when it looks for them 
on the CD drive.
The only way to setup virtio block drivers is to first install Windows on a IDE 
drive, then add a dummy virtio disk, then load the drivers and swap the two 
disks.
I'm using virtio-win-0.1-81.iso. I can confirm the issue with Windows Server 
2012 R2 and Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit.
Thanks!
