I follow the directions in the documentation on creating a windows vm. I then try to run the windows vm and no matter what media I use I get this crash.

The only thing unusual that I can think of is that I just deleted a previous windows vm through the qubes vm manager (a successful installation which did not have this issue).

This is on r3.0 according to qubes vm manager.

You are trying to attach /dev/cdrom device, but according to that listing, you don't have such device file. And I don't see any cdrom there...

I'm sorry. I saved the entire log of the window and didn't mean to do that. I only meant to save the latest execution. Sorry for the confusion. It won't happen again.

Please see this updated log file.

Ah, haven't noticed the last try. There you are using a directory name, not device/image file path. You need to use file path there. Take a look at df command output to get the device path (first column) mounted there (and preferably unmount it before starting the VM).

Thank you so much.

As you probably are well aware, that's a pretty unfriendly "crash" message and ultimately would be more helpful if your very helpful response was there instead; at least for those of us very new to linux.
