Expected results:


Additional info:
1 hit on win2008/win7/win2008r2
2 not hit this issue with build145, so it is a regression
3 seems the same issue as bug966861
4 with a pre-formatted img, it works.

When installing guest with win2008, hit similar error with win7.

Manual installing:
It shows "Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS" 

Automation:
Windows could not create a partition on disk 0. 
Error code:0x80300025

win2008-32 vioscsi hit the same code but with much lower reproduce percentage(not stable reproduced and not regression).

I wonder if adding serial number to "-device virtio-blk-pci," makes any difference. Apart from that, for manual install do you use the same qemu cli as mentioned in the bug's description? I'm going to try reproducing the problem on my local setup.

Thanks,
Vadim.

The same error "Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS" after adding serial number to device.

Yes, they use the same cli as comment#0

Hi Li Jin.
Honestly, I was not able to reproduce this problem on my setup to start debugging
the problem. (It was just failing with a different problem). Since it is a regression, I was thinking to return the previous code to the drivers prior to Win10 and keep the new code (which fixes Even Id 158 problem) for Windows 10 /WS 2016 only. I should be build such kind of drivers as soon as virtio-win build system will be fixed again.
Vadim.
Comment 24 Yu Wang 2018-05-28 09:56:38 UTC 
Hi,

Tried to verify with build153 on win2008-32/64, win7-32/64 and win2008r2

Win2008r2/win2008-32/win7-32/win7-64: no error occurred now when installing guest, but BSOD when the first reboot to the guest after installation, and cannot boot into the guest (refer to attachment)

It similar with the bug1568739, but not the same code.

win2008-64: still occurred error on win2008-64 as comment#5.



Thanks

verify with build155 on win2008-32/64, win7-32/64 and win2008r2

It can be installed successfully, so change status to verified.
