Hi,
I need help. I am trying to recover Windows 2008 Server. I purchased Server 2008 Recovery disk.
When I select Automatic Repair I get the following message, “Unable to find any valid Windows partition on this computer! Make sure all hard disk are attached. If they’ve been lost due to disk corruption, you can try to manually recover the partitions with testdisk at the command prompt.”
Background Information:
I had a physical server die. The motherboard died. The hard drive was good. The operating system was Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition.
I can see the data on the hard drive. So I converted the HD to VHDX file using Disk2VHD tools. I took the VHDX file and copied it to a Windows Server 2012 running Hyper V. I created a new Virtual Machine and loaded the VHDX file. When I boot up the VM I get an error stating:
Windows Boot Manager
File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0x0000428
Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.
This prompted us to purchase the Windows Recovery CD from NeoSmart.
Can anyone help me with resolving this issue and getting the server to boot up? Thanks!
