Hello all,

I am running Proxmox on a Dell r710 with a H700i RAID controller.

I rebooted my host this morning and once everything had started up again, my Windows Guest was seeing it's disk as empty, partition-less and uninitialised. However, the Proxmox host web GUI is seeing the physical disk as still in use.

Could anyone please assist or provide some insight?
 
Does the Windows OS actually Boot up?
Have you tried booting the VM with a Linux live-system?
What does it tell you?
 
It looks like your partition table is screwed.
There is some chance in getting it back with recovery tools I guess. You should be able to find a lot of tools around, I have no experience with any particular tool.
