    Win10VM - changed "active" disk and now won't boot

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    Hi there. 

    Unraid 6.8.3

    Windows 10 VM running well with 60GB of space. 

     

    I wanted to increase VM disk space, so I shut down the VM, selected it, increased size from 60GB to 100GB, restarted. 

    Windows> Disk Management> selected c:> expand volume - this option was greyed out. 

    It showed

    1. 100MB partition. 2. C  3. Healthy Recovery 4: unallocated. 

    I searched around and tried a few options (restart, create new volume from 4, etc. and had no luck. 

    At point one (the last point?) I right clicked on "C" and selected "Active Partition". The warning came up "if there's no OS you may not be able to boot". 

    I continued, with the intention of switching "active" back to the "100MB" partition. In the intervening few seconds, I tried to "expand volume" on C to see if it would work. 

    I then restarted BEFORE I set the 100MB back to "active". 100% my mistake. 

    So now on VM boot I receive a "BOOTMGR is missing" warning, press ALT CTRL DELETE which is just a boot loop. 

     

    Searching online suggests using a bootable Windows recovery DVD or USB, booting from that, and then selecting the 100MB as the active partition. 

    With my installation being a VM, I'm not sure how to do this. 

     

    I've searched the forums and reddit and so far the solutions for similar error have not worked (changing virtio, pressing a key to access a different Boot selection. 

     

    Any/all advice would be helpful. 

    And, if I must recreate the VM, that's fine, too. I won't lose any data, would just rather fix than start over. 

     

    Thanks so much.

    Switch to "advanced view" and set "Local server uses NAT" = "Yes".

    (If this setting is "No" you will need to add a static route on your router to point back to the WG tunnel)

    Thanks for this!
    I had everything working except remote access to internet via VPN and this was the piece I was missing.
