Do your VM have a virtual disk?

Maybe have a look in the BIOS for the boot order.

Please, check if the OS disk is configured on the controller (SCSI 0:0)?

Does the physical server use ide or scsi?

[remus25]

the OS disc is SCSi 0:0

physical use scsi

thanks

Looks like Converter included the Dell recovery partition.
Boot the VM with a LiveCD of your choice and check if the Windows boot partition is present and if the boot-flag is set correctly.

Attach the OS disk to other running VM

1. go to CMD and execute below steps
2. diskpart
3. list disk
4. sel disk 2
5. list partition
6. select Partition ( Where the EFI partition is available)
7. delete partition override
8. create partition efi size=150 ( you can set any size above 100 MB)
9. format quick fs=fat32 label="System"
10. create partition msr size=128 ( you can set any size above 50 MB)
11. select Partition ( Where the EFI partition is available)
12. assign letter="S" ( you can assign any available drive letter)
13. exit
14. cd e:\windows\system32
15. bcdboot e:\windows /s S: /f UEFI ( Where E: is the OS drive and S is the EFI Partition drive letter)
16. attach the disk back to the affected VM.
17. Bring on the server.
