I had a bad electrical storm that ended up frying one of my server. I had full backups of all my VMs and KVMs. I rebuilt a new server and was able to restore and start all of my linux VMs and KVMs. I have 1 Windows7 KVM and 1 Windows 2008 R2 Server KVM that I am having problems with.

The restore of both Windows KVM went fine. When I try to start either of the they try to start and just stop.

My old server was version 1.5 when everything was backed up. I built the new server with the new 1.9 version.

Please Help I need to get the 2008 server up and running!

Thanks

So now I have to find this iso file. Wish me luck!

It would be on the old Proxmox hard drive right? Is there any way to view the linux partition on a windows machine? I have a USB adapter.
 
proxmox:~# qm start 1028
volume 'local:iso/server_2008_r2_standard_enterprise_datacenter_x64.iso' does not exist

I guess that VM is already fully installed, so maybe do do not need that iso to get the VM operational?

If so, try:

# qm set 1028 --cdrom none

Then try to start again.
