It seems volume has been deactivated and not assigned to system drive.

When you are running bcdedit in repair window, ensure that "Boot Device" is not showing as" Unknown". It should be "default".

If boot device showing Unknown, try below commands after booting from Windows Installer Disc.

diskpart
list volume
select volume #
att vol clear readonly
att vol clear hidden
att vol clear nodefaultdriveletter
assign letter=c:
exit

cd X:\Sources\Recovery

Type command startrep

Once completed, boot VM and check if it wo
