Okay so I have been having a nightmare trying to get Windows Images to boot up. I have followed all possible combinations I have come across on how to make a Windows Image for OpenStack with virtio drivers and I have been coming up with no luck. I feel like there is not enough documentation anywhere because everyone tells you how to make it but not how to get it up. I have errored out everytime I try to boot up from nova-boot or horizon. I have tried to make custom flavors for Windows Images with ephemeral disks but still nothing. But After going through my logs, I have narrowed it down to something to do with disk spaces and maybe missing flags in my nova.conf file as of right now this is what I have....

The lines that stand out the most to me are these two
