Problem with VHD rebooting

I had to wipe out and reinstall my operating system, but my vhd was on
another disk

Now that I've reinstalled VPC 2007 - added another vm, and added the vhd to
it, the first time it booted, it went through an extensive chkdsk before
booting - - then, from then on, every time I try to boot the VHD, it gets
almost through the boot process, then reboots -

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Re: Problem with VHD rebooting

You don't say what the guest OS is, but you can try booting into safe
mode then rebooting, but I'm afraid the disk probably got corrupted,
so a repair is about all you can do, an it's hard to tell how much
you've lost.

Re: Problem with VHD rebooting

It turns out there were just a ton of updates that had to be done - once
that was finished, it stopped rebooting

thanks all
