I exported 2 virtual PCs from Hyper-V. and then imported them. I can't start one virtual machine that has Windows Server 2008 R2 installed. The machine starts, but then I only see a blinking underscore. I am trying to run these virtual PCs on Hyper-V 2008 R2 that is installed on bare metal.

Have you checked your boot order for the virtual machine? I have had this happen with bad ISO or image files and the virtual machine trying to boot from them. You can check the boot order from the Action menu for the Hyper-V Manager.

I exported that machine. Tried several times to prevent bad export. Imported on another machine, and not working here. Link to vhd file seems to be ok too...– martinFeb 29, 2012 at 23:30

1Boot from the 2008r2 DVD and attempt a boot repair or a repair installation. This will at least show whether the vhd file is connected and working.– G KoeMar 1, 2012 at 2:38

Win repair didn't helped. But in repair, I ran cmd and
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /ScanOs
bootrec /RebuildBCD
solved my problem.....– martinMar 1, 2012 at 6:09 -
Well done. Now why is exporting your VHDs causing the bootmgr to loose your info? I have seen this happen when exporting from HyperV on 2008 and importing them on HyperV 2008R2...– G KoeMar 1, 2012 at 6:20
Load installation CD / DVD run repair and cmd and
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /ScanOs
bootrec /RebuildBCD
saved my life....
