I'm running a Windows VM on proxmox (Windows 2008 R2 server x64).

I had convert this VM to .vdi VM (qemu-img convert -f qcow2 <qcow2_VM_filename> -O vdi <VDI_file_VM_filename>).

The VDI file is OK.

I create a new VM, select the VDI disk, but the windows doesn't start.

The proxmox VM is setup with this information :

ide0 = 140/vm-140-disk-1.qcow2
ide1 = 140/vm-140-disk-2.qcow2
ide2 = cdrom

I select a IDE device on VirtualBox
- IDE + PIIX4 + I/O Host cache (seletced)

, but the machine start with : Windows is loading files ... and reboot.

I try to repair the boot partition (100mb) ... but nothing running :(

Can you help me ...
