ESXi VM migration to Hyper-V
Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2026 12:00 pm
Hello,
I migrated (with synchronisation) a VM from ESXi host to new Hyper-V one.
I can see the VM in the HPV console, but i'm unable to start it, with "No boot disk found - Status: 0xc000000e"
When i go to the command line and check the drive with diskpart, i see that it is completely empty - 80GB our of 80GB free with no partitions.
V2V version 9.0.1.848
In logs i see this:
