Operating System Not Found

Valid on Windows platforms.

Symptom:

The following message appears when the power on Virtual Standby virtual machine operation fails:

Operating System Not Found.

Solution:

The above behavior can occur on virtual machines that contain SCSI and IDE devices. If this problem occurs, examine how disks are configured on your virtual machine and verify that the boot sequence of the recovered virtual machine is the same as the source virtual machine. If the boot sequence is different, update the BIOS on the recovered virtual machine to match that of the source.

Note:

 

Use (0:1) to represent the first IDE disk.
