<div>Indeed.<br>
FYI, I had various issues with Windows 2003R2 over KVM
(libvirtified). The most painful one was the fact that for some
reason, my Windows dlls were corrupt and Windows was crashing
after 6h or 12h running.<br>
<br>
After a hard period, I found why : when you perform a snapshot,
it's very important to make sure the disks are synced, which is
*not the case* with the default virtio driver settings. As a
result, when trying to hot snapshot a Windows instance, the image
was corrupt.<br>
<br>
The only solution I found was to either stop the instance and do
the snapshot; or disable the writecache in Windows.<br>

Success!!!! I have launched my Windows ISO instance with
a volume attatched. Thank you very much for all you're
help.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just 1 more quick question. When I am VNC'ing into
the image to install windows onto the volume, it is
trying to boot from the actual volume, then network,
then floppy. It never launches the ISO. Since there is
no OS installed yet on the volume, there is no bootable
disc. Is there a way of making it launch the ISO and
start the installation? </div>
