No boot disk, not what you think

I had just finished up configuring Debian, spent two days getting all the programs working properly, shut down the server from the CLI, then went to restart it and got the no bootable media error. When I look at storage none of the drives can be modified, they are greyed out. I can however boot up a saved snaphot from a few hours prior.
What the heck can I do to recover this server? I has about 7Gb of work on it.

Doesn't sound like it is really shut down of the last steps you took corrupted the VDI. Try a boot repair package and if that fails you can attach the VDI as a second drive to an existing guest and see if you can retrieve the data.
Of course a backup would be the best thing. A must if the guest is important.

The last one is fooked.

I can open a prior snapshot just fine, but the one that I need, DEAD. What I have found, the .vmdk is there, but the .sav is not. There is no SAV file for that snapshot. There goes 7 hours of work! I tried to load the ova into a new instance, and it failed as well.
