VDS fails to write boot code on a disk during clean operation. Error code: 80070013@02070008

[Kake]

Hello,

I extended a vdisk to max size 1200 GB to 2048 GB with vmkfstools. I started to get error in Windows VDS fails to write boot code on a disk during clean operation. Error code: 80070013@02070008.

The disk is uninitialized and I am unable to initialize it. Tried to google, but not many good answers yet.

Hi there,

Can you recreate the VMDK but make it at 2TB - 512 bytes? This should load fine.

Kind regards,

Glen

Hi There,

I also ran into the same issue and got it fixed. I believe you must have already fixed it, but sharing is not bad.

from a DOS prompt execute:

> diskpart

> list disk

> select disk 1    (assuming disk 1 was the drive in the above list disk command)

> clean

> create partition logical

*Error: DiskPart has encountered an error: The media is write protected.

Workaround

Run > online disk

> detail disk
