Hyper-V On windows server 2008 R2

Chup · Jul 25, 2012

Hey there,
I've got this project in which i need to use virtual machines on hyper-v.
What i did was :
1- Enable Virtualization in the bios
2- Installed windows 2008 R2
3- Installed hyper-v as a role.
4- created a Virtual Hard disk
5- created a Virtual machine.
6- ide controller 0's media is the VHD itself.
7- ide controller 1's media ia an iso image of a windows server 2008.

whenever i'm attempting to start the machine it gives me a " An error occured whiled attempting to start the selected virtual machine ."

going through the server manager , in the event log, the event id is 3040

Am i missing something ?
Thanks,

Try this article's suggestions. Perhaps it can help: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd581971%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

Does Hyper-V have permission to access the VHD and write to it?

that's exactly the article i'm reading now.
But it doesn't show me steps on how to solve them..

Edit : Solved .
Sandy Bridge Cpus don't work on Hyper V .
Windows 2008 R2 SP1 fixes the issue.
Cheers guys
