I have never had a problem installing a Win7 HVM or HVM Template. When you run it, it should juut continue. Give the guest 2 threads and AT LEAST 2 GB RAM. Anything less than that and it MAY have issues. I have had issues with less than 1024 GB RAM in the past, that is why I recommend 2 GB, and NOT BALANCED. I have a Win7Template, and I spawn all my Win7 Guests off that. If you have trouble installing it from the MS ISO, then I recommend downloading from elsewhere. http://getintopc.com/page/1/?s=Windows+7 This is the site I got an ISO from when I needed one for a specific version of Win7. The ISOs boots fine and works and I've been using it for years. Just be sure to get one that is not an AIO or something that is modified like that. Get one that is purely x86_64 and one version. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
