| Apr 24, 2019 at 16:36 | comment | added | mgw | I don't think so - I just successfully started the system from the VHDX file. My suspicion is that it must have something to do with GRUB... | |
| Apr 24, 2019 at 16:25 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | OK, you definitely need to start over from step 1. | |

| Apr 24, 2019 at 14:39 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | Wait, this is really confusing now. What is actually on the disk? Please edit your question. | |
| Apr 24, 2019 at 14:38 | comment | added | mgw | Tried that. Didn't work | |
| Apr 24, 2019 at 14:32 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | You probably should boot Windows installation media and run Startup Repair, then. | |
| Apr 24, 2019 at 14:31 | comment | added | mgw | Sure - it copied only the windows partition BUT from Super Grub2 Disk's function list partitions I can see the entire disk layout. | |
| Apr 24, 2019 at 13:57 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | Now I suspect something went wrong with the initial p2v way back at step 1. Perhaps it copied only a single partition and not the whole disk? | |
| Apr 24, 2019 at 13:56 | comment | added | mgw | The image can't be mounted either. Funny enough the system starts with help of the super grub2 disk. | |
| Apr 24, 2019 at 13:52 | comment | added | mgw | Hmmm. fdisk tells me there is no partition table. | |

| Apr 24, 2019 at 13:19 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | If you don't intend to keep the Linux distributions that were in the image, why not just use fdisk to change which partition is active? | |
