Issues With BCDEDIT on VHDX. The Requested System Device Cannot be Found

Howdy,

I am trying to recover my old Windows 8 setup on VHDX and have problems booting from that VHDX in Hyper-V.

I imported an old VM, added a VHDX with Windows 8 on that virtual disk.

The virtual disk has 2 partition:

MSR partition

System partition

The virtual disk is a GPT disk with NTFS on System partition.

I am trying to create a BCD boot configuration database and am experiencing issues with BCDEDIT returning errorThe requested system device cannot be found:

How do I fix that? Any clue?

Thank you.

Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...
