qm importdisk (WindowsImageBackup VHD) non-existent or non-regular file

[jaceqp]

Hi there.

I have a Win2008R2 backup (as a WindowsImageBackup) stored on a usb drive (ntfs). It contains VHD files so I'm thinking of importing those as VM disks.
I've already mounted usb drive, however "importdisk" fails:

root@******# qm importdisk 100 "/mnt/USB1TB/WindowsImageBackup/*********.vhd" RAID1_600GB --format raw
root@******# qm importdisk 100 "/mnt/USB1TB/WindowsImageBackup/*********.vhd: non-existent or non-regular file

Any ideas? File path is quite messy and long so meanwhile I'll check andrename/move vhd itself...

EDIT:
It seems it was path/naming issue... After moving and renaming vhd import went just fine. I created a VM for it, controller/drive is set to IDE but booting causes "7B" bsod. OS was previously running on a hardware based RAID 1 drive. There were no preparations on a runninng OS to VM migration (I only have backup vhd file to work on).
VM disk is set to IDE (tried as a SATA aswell but same BSOD and reboot loop).
I also tried changing VM OS type to Vista/2008 etc. and Machine type (i440fx / q35) - same result. I think it might be related to disk driver within VM OS itself...
Any suggestions?

Have you already been able to import it? What version of Proxmox VE are you using? Can start up a live distro in the VM and read something from the disk from there?

What might help is trying different disk options in the BIOS of the VM
