Windows on OVH VPS
I am currently trying to install a windows OS on my vps, and they dont have an auto install, but they do have the rescue system. I have tried installing it per what https://joodle.nl/install-windows-on-a-kimsufi-completely-free/#more-3440 has. Does anyone have any ideas on how to really make it work?
root@rescue-pro:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 9.9G 600M 8.8G 7% / udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev tmpfs 782M 144K 782M 1% /run /dev/vda1 9.9G 600M 8.8G 7% / tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /run/shm /dev/vdb1 39G 9.8G 29G 26% /mnt/vdb1
is the file system and /dev/vdb1 is the vps disk

Maybe this might help : https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/100818/windows-on-ovh-vps-ssd-1 ?
I don't believe Joodle's templates have the necessary VirtIO drivers as part of the image as such they will unlikely work on OVH or any vps/cloud provider.
The templates I have here will work on OVH. The guide is for DigitalOcean, however as long as you follow the same steps only using OVH's recovery mode you should be good to go.

Ill give it a try. Really wish it came up in google searches but for some reason it never came up.
if RIYAD's link doesnt help, then that is my next one.
Thank you both for at least posting something in the right direction
Edit: nvm
And the first linked worked! Ty
Np, working on adding Server 2016 to the list of compatible templates as well
