Error Message Error Loading Operating System Cause Each virtual machine has VMDK descriptor file(s) in virtual disk(s), and there is a parameter "ddb.geometry.sectors" in a VMDK descriptor file. ESX always sets the parameter as a fixed value when creating the virtual machine. For instance, the parameter is set as 63 when a virtual disk is larger than 2GB. For details, please refer to the VMware KB 1026266 in below Solution section. Similarly, the parameter is set as the fixed value even if restoring a virtual machine where the parameter is set as the customized value (e.g. ddb.geometry.sectors = "53"). In this case, the parameter is different from the original one, and the restored virtual machine fails to be started with an error "Error Loading Operating System". Also the same issue can occur when P2V is performed. Solution Please edit VMDK descriptor file(s) to set a param

Error loading operating system - Acronis support slow, says could take 2 MONTHS to help me. Login to post comments 11 replies [Last post] Fri, 2010-04-16 18:23 David Seest Offline Beginner Joined: 2010-04-16 Posts: 1 Send PM: Send PM I had a corrupted driver with backup exec system windows so I decided to restore a backup image. When I tried to reboot, I got the error "Error loading operating system". Acronis online chat support had me boot with the Acronis boot disk and then had me try the recovery console. They then told me to send them an Acronis Linux report (made with the boot disk). I sent that in on Mar 6 but (about 6 weeks ago) and I go to online chat to get status every week.. but they still have me waiting. Plus now all my data is gone since the restore overwrote everything. Has anyone seen that error after a restore? I can't afford to have my computer down for two months. I'd appreciate any and all advice.

I've never seen it before after a restore. What OS do you have? __________________ Tom K.
