        @Schmidty86 I dont see your disk at all listed, only PXE (network booting) and then the MISC device (which is the questionable item).

        The internal Shell isn't relevant to this conversation.

          As a side thought, re-enable the DISK under advanced and then reboot into BIOS and see if the disk is listed.

              @Schmidty86 That disk appears to be a secondary disk, is this just a "data volume" and not a boot volume (looking at XO where it shows xvdb)?

              Hrm as to the fact that it still shows it as a misc disk.... I'm at a loss.

                @DustinB To my knowledge this is the bootable volume. all the other backups in the parent folder are just differential backups that are much much smaller.

                  @DustinB Also when i look at the VHD in 7zip i can clearly see that it has a boot sector.

                    @Schmidty86 Try to detach the disk and reattach, it should be xvda in order to be bootable

                      @AtaxyaNetwork Sadly I've done this multiple times as well with no luck of it turning into that format.

                        That's what I was thinking as well, but obviously something is off with this VM.

                        @Schmidty86 is the old host still online? If so you might be able to perform a Live Migration or a replication job to copy it from the old host to the new.
