[Solved] FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.

Post by Reza_4247 »

good day everybody!

I made a VHD disk from my hard drive through Disk2VHD. But unfortunately when I enter it in the virtual box, I get Errors:
FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.

All information I have taken by a screenschot.
Which partitions do I have to select with Disk2VHD?

I thank you in advance for your help

All of them, most important being the EFI one, since it contains the boot code.

That message would come up *only* if you had chosen the BIOS boot option for your VM, and not the EFI one. Go to the VM Settings » System » Extended Features » Enable EFI ««« Check that.

See if that makes it "sing"...
