I split your post from a 2011 unrelated thread in the Windows Hosts section and started a new topic, as you could have done from the beginning.

So, your Debian host crashed (how?), you installed a Ubuntu host. You have a Win8.1 VDI (only?) from a backup(?) and when you create a VM around that VDI, it doesn't work. Is the above info correct? Can you fill in the questions?
