proxmox VM will not boot

[AMnewb]

Hello

I want to first state I have no idea what im doing - I am a network guy with zero server experience. I was provide lab server for my position and have been trying to learn.

I have now spent a couple solid days trying ot get this to work and i figure its time to ask for help

I am trying to run an OVA file

I follow this:
https://syncbricks.com/how-to-import-ova-to-proxmox/

however i keep getting this:


I have googled and unable to find an answer (probably not using the correct terms to find the answer because i don't know what i'm doing)

this also shows up before


arry are not found and no root file system however unable to figure out how to fix- i have tried at least 10 times. googlint those errors and proxmox - i didn't really find anything

I also tried a direct qcow2 however the guide is outdated and the QEMU cannot be done its grayed out and set to RAW - I tried to read the comment but cannot figure out what those people did to fix it.
https://ostechnix.com/import-qcow2-into-proxmox/

the above just drops me into shell - doesn't boot the image.

have also tried just traigh iso image the i previously used for another VM that is working and it does the same "not bootable media"
