Dell Poweredge r710 server runnign fedora core 11.
When I isntall windows 7 RC(downloaded from MSDN), it boots and presents installation screen (language, country etc.)
Then I get,
"A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing...". Can't seem to get around that. I have installed ubuntu guests and they are all working fine.

Help is much appreciated.

I had successfully installed

I had successfully installed this by command line under Fedora 10 but haven't tried it under Fedora 11. I will give this a try under F11 with virt-manager and see if I run into same issues.
