I updated files on my Proxmox 4.2 that was supposed to upgrade to 4.3 and after rebooting, my drive will not boot. So I am trying to do a repair install using the ISO, but it is just prompting as if it is a new install. It is not recognizing my boot drive anymore (I am getting the message "Attempting Boot From Hard Drive (C:"), so is there a way I can repair to retain all my current settings on the reinstall? I am running ZFS on an SSD drive.

I tried the Rescue Disk on the ISO and it opens my PVE with the old 4.2 version but doesn't to boot without the ISO.

I did a Refresh then Upgrade from the Updates menu in the Web interface. Everything seemed fine until I rebooted, but it does't want to reboot without launching in Recovery Console on the ISO, so I'm wondering if it's maybe a Grub issue (not really familiar with Linux yet so I don't want to do something wrong).
 
This is strange. So you can boot with the recovery ISO to your real system? Ok, then please execute this commands:
Code: 
apt install -f
apt update
apt dist-upgrade
 
I finally figured it out last night and it was extremely stupid. My HP RAID card in my Microserver likes to lose settings and I have to constantly reconfigure my 240GB SSD as the boot drive, so on the routine creation I forgot that I have a 250GB HD in the system as well and mistook that drive and setup as the boot drive instead, so it wouldn't boot since it didn't have the OS on it. Once I discovered and switched it, it booted fine - now running the current 4.3 version.
