Mine is 'Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet > Adapter' 61.65.104.7400 20/11/2013. I got it from virtio-win-0.1-74.iso A newer VirtIO Driverpack can be found here: https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/ > Patrick I can only guess that the Windows VM hadn't been configured before to use any VirtIO interface, neither for network, nor for VirtDisk access. OP should install the drivers from the ISO and then switch the disk device model as well to VirtIO for best performance. Alexander
