    Hi,

    I'm getting the error below when creating a new VM in Hyper-V. I'm using Windows Server Enterprise 2008 R2.

    "failed to add device 'Microsoft Virtual Hard Disk'. (Virtual machine ID 7CB6EAA3-7610-4256-A83A-26FBC7A2C364)'VivHV_5_3Ciro2_VivHvbla': Attachment 'H:\VSE_VirtualMachines\VivHV_5_3Ciro2_VivHvbla\VivHV_5_3Ciro2_VivHvbla_0_0_1.vhd' not found. Error: 'The system cannot find the file specified.' (0x80070002). (Virtual machine ID 7CB6EAA3-7610-4256-A83A-26FBC7A2C364)."

    Any idea?

    Thanks,

    Ciro

    Hello Ciro,

    Are you trying to move a VM? (Becuse of (Virtual machine ID 7CB6EAA3-7610-4256-A83A-26FBC7A2C364) saying move)

    You said a new VM ,

    Did you check the folder of H:\VSE_VirtualMachines\VivHV_5_3Ciro2_VivHvbla\VivHV_5_3Ciro2_VivHvbla_0_0_1.vhd'?

    Sincerely,

    Murat Demirkiran

    Hi Murat,

    It's actually a create, and it's being called through API. How do you know it's a move?

    I've just checked and that file is there.

    Thanks,

    Ciro

    Hi!

    From your post I take it that you're not using Hyper-V manager.

    Is the API being called from a remote computer? If so, have you checked that it's not looking for the folder locally and that the account making the call has read permissions to the folder?

    If not, please provide more details on how the API call is made and what's making it.

    Hi Ciro,

    Please disable if there is an antivirus installed ( Just for test)

    Can you try to shorten the folder and VHD name?

    VHD is a blank VHD or Syspreped Image VHD?

    Sincerely,

    Murat Demirkiran

    Hi Mike,

    Yes, I'm calling the API remotely. Actually it's another layer of the application which wraps the Hyper-V API calls. But basically it creates a new config with network and storage, saves it and closes it.

    I did a test with a 2MB disk and it failed, after I created another with 3MB and it worked. Reading the documentation, I saw that Hyper-V VHD has a limit of 3MB. Maybe this is the issue but the message doesn't seem to be very informative.

    Thanks,
    Ciro

    You were below the minimum size for a VHD, so it didn't create.
