Hi,
what kind of file is it?

If you look on pve (or another linux box) with "file 1.img" what output do you get?

Hello,

i have some more information about the img-File:

proxmoxx:/# fdisk -ul -hw-test-template.img
You must set cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.

Disk csd-hw-test-template.img: 0 MB, 0 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders, total 0 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x682eeefc

                   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
hw-test-template.img1              63    33555311    16777624+  83  Linux
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(1023, 15, 63) logical=(33288, 15, 63)
hw-test-template.img2        33555312    40959071     3701880   82  Linux swap / Solaris
Partition 2 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):

Hi,
this shows that the files are normal raw-files from an hdd.

Just create harddisks to an VM (same size or a little bit bigger if you use lvm) and copy the file (with dd if you have lvm-storage).

That's all.

Hello Udo,

thanks for your help.

I copied the file to the VM and renamed them from img to raw.
Now i importet the 2 HDDs as ide-Drives.
But if i boot the system i get the message:

No bootable drive found.

Do you have an idea?

Thanks
TObias

[tsaenger]

i canged the boot order to both raw-files.

you can boot from a linux live cd and analyze data on the virtual hard disks.
