    I handled this by converting the hyper v images to qcow2. You can use a free starwind convertor tool to do this. Then create the VM's in proxmox with an empty disk qcow2 format and sata (if windows vm) connector. Use winscp to logon fo proxmox and navigate to /mnt/pve Here you should see the...

    I sent the sabrent rubbish back and fitted a crucial one. If you are in the UK Sabrent do not honour the warranty. I never received a replacement and as they are in US gave up.
