Virtual box ask to reinstal windows

Post by tilano »

Hi

I am new to virtual box.
I have a mac book pro and I am runing a virtual machine with windows 10.
It was working but I accidentally power it off and when try to turn it on again is asking me to reinstall windows, and is asking me to do it in a different partition.

Is there any way to go back to my previous install windows with all the the information in there?

Thanks

Felipe

That's not VirtualBox asking you to reinstall Windows. That's Windows asking you to reinstall Windows. It seems that when you powered it off you corrupted(?) your installation. Do you have a backup? You could restore from the backup.
