Hi all,

I have discovered many posts here and tried many solutions like import the vmdk file directly without converting but still unable to boot up , "Windows error" is shown.

I can see those disks appeared when I using the server installation media and also able to see the last recovery image but every boot up , windows error screen is shown.

May I seek for help? (also tried to enter safe mode but redirects to the windows error page)

Attached are for your reference. ( in this case, it is using .raw by importdisk , not vmdk , but with the same error)

Below is the qm config output:
