Description of problem: this issue was separated from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877836#c23 Fail to install win7 64bit guest with the x-data-plane=on using the RPMs v3, with the prompt is 'Setup was unable to create a new system partiotion or locate an existing system partition'. BTW, 1.if i use the x-data-plane=off, it can install windows guest successfully. 2.it can install rhel6.4 64bit guest with x-data-plane=on using the RPMs v3 successfully.

Additional info:
Please try this build, it includes Windows patches: https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/taskinfo?taskID=5273068
Hopefully a dupe of Bug 895392. If not, we'll probably have to wait until RHEL6.5 to fix it (unless Stefan has a trivial patch that can be reviewed and included tomorrow, in snapshot 4).
Ping. Please confirm that the Windows 7 guest is able to install to a x-data-plane=on drive.
