Hi All,

I decided to seek support for this issue as it is almost persistent with me - all the other features of macrium reflect work in some way or another except viboot which almost always crashes after a few moments.
I've tried this with multiple versions of formatted machines and even moved the mrimg files to a local disk to ensure that it is not network related.

The scenario for me is simple.
I select an image to create a viBoot image with.
I select the core count, memory and network options.
VM is created successfully and boots up.
I enter my password and windows desktop is visible.
Give it a few moments and the VM hangs.

Most of the time if it doesn't hang at first launch it will hang after restart.
The VM is unresponsive and I am unable to shut it down via Hyper-V nor viBoot - the only way for me is to Turn Off the VM then restart it.

I've checked the event viewer in windows to see if there are related errors and I suspect the following errors maybe related:

Error level events:

etc..


Please advise.

Thanks!

Also would like to add that I've tested this on a second machine and it is exactly the same behavior.

First time boot is working fine.
after reboot the VM hangs around 5 seconds after entering windows and no amount of trickery is working to keep it alive.

I usually run it with the following specs in case this helps:

12 cores
8 GB Ram
No Network

The physical machine has the following specs:
24 cores
32 GB Ram

Hi AngelicCore,

I am sorry to hear that you are having an issue with a viBoot VM.

Could you please confirm the free disk space of the Drive where viBoot Repository folder is located - Tools=>Options=>Virtual Machine Repository. By default it is in C:\

Thank you
