Hyper-V issue

[neonetman]

We've recently had some corruption on our Hyper-V host meaning I'm having to restore backups of someof our virtual machines. One of these restores is causing me a headache:-

 

* Looking at the config, it looks like there were 2 ide HDDs configured on the VM (which is borne out by the VHD files on thE backup server)

* The first VHD is only 4Gb, with the second being 500Gb

* When I restore them and boot I get a message about a device being inaccessible

* I I boot fromt he DVDand choose to repar, it only sees a Windows install on the 4Gb partition

* If I mount the larger VHD onto another VM to look at, it tells me it has no partitions

* This server is the file share for our redirected appdata folders, so I need to get this online asap

* Just to add more pressure to this, I fly on holiday on Wednesday morning so I only have today and tomorrow to get this sorted

 

 

Can anyone offer any suggestions on what I'm missing in the config here?

I'm no massive expert on Hyper V (we use it, but I've not had to do anything too involved), but which OS are you running Hyper V on? Can you mount the bigger VHD in windows so you can check what's inside? Can you run any checks on the VHD to check its validity?

How were the backups taken?
