Hello Sudeep,
I have never used virt-install but I doubt it install the VirtIO drivers [1]
by itself inside the Windows 7 image.
Without those drivers the virtio doesn't work inside the machine, in the
sense
that Windows Installer doesn't see any HDD present.
Can you boot the VM on your local machine using qemu?

Best,
Valentin
