      @ohthisis Go to the Disks tab of the VM, what does it look like?

        A few things can be implied from his last screenshot and comments.

        0c0e8bf0-94d0-4cb7-9363-37f1e7994fdd-image.png

        His boot order is set to PXE boot first, disk next.
        He has no bootable disk attached to the VM.

        It's possible that the disk is "detached" from the VM. IE it says disconnected or whatever under disks.

        My Example
        6ab7b09c-4c81-4f18-928a-81ab86e389d6-image.png

        He earlier mentioned that he "created a VM with PXE as boot" but what is his PXE server doing? Why not just download the ISO or import the image directly to XCP-ng and build a VM from that as a template.

          @DustinB yeah im guessing the VDI isn't attached to the VM for some reason, based on the screenshot.

          Im also wondering if he ever rebooted the VM's after installing them with PXE 😛

            Right, it's a likely answer... but even then I would've expected his PXE server to just restart the installation process all over again... assuming that the disk is attached to the VM etc and that PXE boot isn't disabled automatically like it is with an ISO after first boot.

            haha
