Windows client stuck in repair mode.

Post by drewex »

Hello, I'm pretty new to vmbox on windows 10 host (ported over from my parallels mac). I am constantly using it and find it really good. I have a windows 10 64bit client which I had a copy created earlier for backup purposes, I copied the file locally to use it noticed it had same uuid so i detached my active one to do a test on my copy. It gave me windows automatic repair thing so i decided to skip the test thing, went to my original reattached the drive. Now its giving me windows repair and Srt is failing. How can i fix the issue? what did I do wrong?

Quick update, I booted to recovery from iso, chkdsk didnt return anything, srt logs all result 0 except the pending package install result -2. It doesnt repair it, not even sure if its an error. I read I could use dism but my iso doesnt have install.wim and online version doesnt work. I am still trying to recover it but already started a new install. I just need to understand why this is a causing a problem so I dont do it again (AND RECOVER IT if possible of course)
