Hi all,
Using Windows Server Backup on a machine running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard I made an image of the whole machine (a .vhdx file) onto a USB drive.
I then plugged this USB drive into a machine running Windows 8.1 Pro with Hyper-V installed, mounted the .vhdx file and attempted to boot it - However upon starting the VM I get the error
Boot failure. Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Device
The machine running Windows 8.1 Pro does have Virtulization enabled in the bios and the processor (an i7) supports Intel VT-x so these should not be an issue.
I've tried changing IDE settings, SCSI settings, BIOS boot order settings, nothing quite seems to work. Any help is appreciated.
