sohailoo Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) i expanded my windows 10 vm a month ago and it was working perfectly fine. today i installed docker on the vm, restarted it and it stopped working now i'm stuck at a loop of startup repair i've entered the cmd in the advanced settings and tried to check DISKPART but when i try list disk, i get "There Are No Fixed Disks to Show" is there any way to repair the img or at least recover some stuff that wasn't saved to the array?

Kilrah Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 In startup repair choose safe mode, it'll fix itself, then reboot. The VM platform you had to enable for Docker doesn't work on qemu. Quote Link to comment

Kilrah Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 You should have "Startup Settings" somewhere. If not maybe try assigning the iso again and booting from that / going into the repair menu. Quote Link to comment

Thanks i just changed the primary vdisk bus from virtio to sata and it booted up successfully. was i supposed to have my vms on sata? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Virtio works, and is usually faster, but requires the driver to be installed. Quote Link to comment
