Have a check on http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/24274/vultr-cloud-iso-testers-needed
you need to have a windows ISO first. use ultrISO unpack the image and add a virtio drive. that's how I did it. The catch is ,with virtio, you can't unmount the OS iso and load a virtio. that causes a reboot if you unmount it so you have to pack them together.
so complicated
It takes 2 minutes with UltraISO. Just open the Windows .iso file in UltraISO. then add the virtIO files to a folder, then hit the save button.
Then upload the .iso file, and then you are ready to go. No need for extracting the .iso file or do anything else, just open, add, save.
@wlcy001 This is how I install Windows 7 on my VULTR server.
Good luck
Tips: I created a new Windows 2012 server to do these. Just to speed up the download/upload speed. Destroy once it's done~
Get your stones ready for it's time to start the "great necro bra" competition among yourselves who can stone me the most for a holy necro.
I know this discussion as dead as stone, but I found it useful and have bookmarked it as I spent yesterday afternoon fighting with windows server 2008 isos for vultr trial period.
I've tried k3b on ubuntu xcfe desktop over vnc, but it turned out those isos weren't bootable either.
Then I tried this Imgburn linked in your comment and it wanted to install opencandy malware with it. I somehow formerly installed it and it kept hijacking my firefox new tabs to bing.com/?some_fucking_long_tracking_or_referral_string.
Then found this here:

I'll see how it goes or blows.
Easy way, check my signature! :P
i just did, seems very long and using imgburn is pointless, just use poweriso and add the files. saves messing about with boot image etc
