Virtual Machine does not recognize floppy drive

I am trying to install Win7 64 bit guest into a KVM virtual machine using a virtio disk as the installation drive. In order to do this I need to install a signed virtio driver at the beginning of the installation stage. These signed drivers are apparently on a vfd file from Red Hat. When I set up the virtual machine using virt-manager, I can add new hardware to create a virtual floppy drive pointing to the Red Hat vfd file on my system. I can also set up more than one CDROM drive. When I boot into Win7 64 bit and choose a custom install, it allows you to browse for drivers. This is where the problem occurs. When I click the browse key any CDROMs I've added to the virtual machine show up but the floppy drive does not, so I can't choose the drivers. Red Hat also has the drivers on an iso image which I can load but Win7 says the driver on the iso image is not signed, so I want to try the floopy drive file but I can't get the Win7 to see it at the beginning of installation. I've followed everything I can find on Google on how to set up a floppy drive and add the Win7 64 bit signed drivers to a KVM virtual machine. The process does not seem that complicated but I can't get it to work. Here is my virtual machine xml file: Code: <domain type='kvm'>   <name>Win7_64</name>   <uuid>b0bbcb23-3714-bf94-4f69-cb83499ebac4</uuid>   <memory>2097152</memory>   <currentMemory>2097152</currentMemory>   <vcpu>1</vcpu>   <os>     <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-0.14'>hvm</type>     <boot dev='fd'/>     <boot dev='cdrom'/>     <boot dev='hd'/>     <bootmenu enable='yes'/>   </os>   <features>     <acpi/>     <apic/>     <pae/>   </features>   <clock offset='localtime'/>   <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>   <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>   <on_crash>restart</on_crash>   <devices>     <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>     <disk type='file' device='disk'>       <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>       <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/Win7_64-1.img'/>       <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>       <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>     </disk>     <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>       <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>       <source file='/home/dad/LV_Data/downloads/microsoft/virtio-win-0.1-15.iso'/>       <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>       <readonly/>       <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/>     </disk>     <disk type='block' device='cdrom'>       <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>       <source dev='/dev/sr0'/>       <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>       <readonly/>       <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='1' unit='0'/>     </disk>     <disk type='file' device='floppy'>       <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>       <source file='/home/dad/LV_Data/downloads/microsoft/virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd'/>       <target dev='fda' bus='fdc'/>       <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/>     </disk>     <controller type='ide' index='0'>       <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x1'/>     </controller>     <controller type='fdc' index='0'/>     <interface type='bridge'>       <mac address='52:54:00:bf:91:47'/>       <source bridge='br0'/>       <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>     </interface>     <serial type='pty'>       <target port='0'/>     </serial>     <console type='pty'>       <target type='serial' port='0'/>     </console>     <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/>     <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/>     <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes'/>     <sound model='ich6'>       <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>     </sound>     <video>       <model type='vga' vram='9216' heads='1'/>       <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>     </video>     <memballoon model='virtio'>       <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>     </memballoon>   </devices> </domain> This is the section that is supposed to create the virtual floppy drive but none shows up when I choose browse for drivers in the Win7 install: Code: <disk type='file' device='floppy'>       <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>       <source file='/home/dad/LV_Data/downloads/microsoft/virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd'/>       <target dev='fda' bus='fdc'/>       <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/>     </disk> Any help would be greatly appreciated.
