Failed to Create Windows 11 VM: Missing Installer ISO and virtio-win Path Issue

I attempted to create a new Windows 11 virtual machine from [Provisioning] - [Instance], but the process failed with an error message.

Here is the current situation:

- When I run `virsh domblklist <vm-name>`, I can see the disk and `virtio-win-2025.iso`.
- However, the Windows 11 installer ISO is missing.
- Also, the `virtio-win-2025.iso` file is not located at the actual path referenced.

It seems the VM setup is referencing files that are either missing or incorrectly linked.

Could someone help me understand the cause of this issue and suggest how to resolve it?

Note: I'm translating this from Japanese, so I apologize if the wording is unclear.

After disconnecting an unused hard drive, I was able to successfully install Windows 11.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your help!
