Cannot boot Windows Server 2012 R2 --

I have Proxmox installed 3.1-21

So I have put Ubuntu in a KVM VM and it worked fine and actually got done installing.

I tried a Windows ISO, and it cannot boot...

I have tried everything, from setting different hard drive bus, sizes, caching -- processors, etc. I even reuploaded my ISO to the server. I even shortened the name of the ISO.

I am not new to virtualization -- I have been a VMware user for many many years, to the point of my VCP5-DCV and knowing more than my professor with a cluster of 1.51TB of RAM (he manages servers across the country, and didn't know about add-hot CPU/RAM). I am a vSphere Administrator - I have 3 servers at home. One of them is now dedicated Proxmox. I just cannot get Windows to install at all. KVM works better than vSphere with HDD performance, so I'm hoping to use this rack server for my sandboxed Windows 8 environment (I do confidential things).

It says "Boot failed: could not read the boot disk" and then restarts. Windows flag starts, crashes again. Over and over and over again.
