The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing

Hi everyone,
I deployed 2 hyper v vitual machines a while ago, and i did that because I needed to test my current game Project, which is an
online game. However, i've had some problems with my Windows installation then I had to reset the pc by making it a refresh
install. I still have the hyper v virtual disks, but i cannot attach it to a new hyper-v virtual machine. it pops up this message:
"the storage
where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing". I dont know anything about virtual machines, so I
didnt know I had to make the disk sharable. How can I force to attach the hard disk to a new hyper-v? I dont want to go t
hrough the whole proccess of installing the operating system all over again and updating it....
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Romulo Romero

Hi MrDebugging,
>>
When I Try to add a SCSI Controller, and then I click browse to add a UNC I get this:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks\ClienMachine.vhdx
but I tried placing in different location, and the same problem occurs!
By the way, Im not on a server , I am a domestic user and I am running it on my
Windows 8.1
According to the error message , it seems that it is not a permission issue .
The VM is Gen 1 or Gen2 ?
Generally the error message occurs when you enable "shared vhdx" on standalone/client hyper-v host :
Please try to attach the VHDx file to IDE controller if it is a Gen 1 virtual machine (because only the SCSI controller has the option "virtual hard disk sharing" and Gen 1 VM only can boot from IDE )
All in all , please do not use this feature without CSV or Scale-Out File Server with SMB 3.0 on file-based storage .
If it is not the case , please detail steps what you did .
Best Regards,
Elton Ji

  • The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual hard disk sharing. (Hyper-v / Windows 10 Enterprise Tech. Preview)

    I am attempting to create new virtual machines in Hyper-V on Windows 10 Enterprise Tech. Preview and I am continually getting the error "The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual hard disk sharing.". I am not trying
    to setup a shared VM or VHD, just a basic VHD.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    This issue is listed in the release notes and currently there is no fix on our side. Have to wait for the next build.
    "Known issues in Build 10049
    If you have Virtual Machines hosted on your PC running Windows 10, you will want to move to the Slow ring and wait for the next build as this build breaks the ability to run VMs. "
    The statement is miss-quoted. It was about Hyper -V. An update KB3053898
    was released to fix that
    See the blog
    Here :
    excerpt........notice the statement has been crossed off in the blog.
    UPDATE: You cannot enable Hyper-V on this build. If you have Hyper-V already enabled and you upgrade to this build, Hyper-V will continue to work. <del>If you have Virtual Machines hosted in Hyper-V on your PC running Windows 10, you will want to move

  • Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

    Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

    i download the recent ios for iphone 4. i connected iphone 4 to my pc and it wont connect to itunes. What is the lastest version of itunes that DOES NOT support the lastest version of ios?

    Yes, due to Incomplete Software Update on your iPhone your Device is now in Recovery Mode and you cannot take a Backup now. But if you have taken a backup earlier then you can Restore that backup on your iPhone after you Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings.

  • I have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    i have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.

  • JavaScript required. The browser that you are using does not support JavaSc

    I keep on getting this message when I'm trying to log on to Hotmail
    JavaScript required. The browser that you are using does not support JavaScript, or you may have disabled JavaScript
    And my browser (IE 6) cannot go to any java links. They either don't load or they are blank pages. I tried installing java, enabling them on the internet options, and even installed a new browser it is still the same thing!!!
    I'm very pissed right now but I really really need some help. Sorry for the inconvenience.
    Thank you, Zaragon

    JavaScript is different from Java. Somehow, security has gotten turn on in IE. If you go to tools, internet options, security, then look at Internet (for hotmail anyway), hit the custom level button, you will see that scripting has been disabled.

  • I want to download movies to my ipad directly.  The free VLC media says it does not support address. What app should I use or where am I going wrong?

    I want to download movies from Putlocker to my ipad directly on off hours.  I read to get the VLC media (free) app.  I put in the address for Putlocker and it stated that this version did not support this address.  Help!  I am new to this and want an app that is easy, supports Putlocker, set time to download and speed.  Any suggestions?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • I VERY MUCH DISLIKE the new Foxfire 4.0 It does not support Norton Safe Web Lite. How can I go back to the old Foxfire?

    The old Foxfire supported Norton Safe Web lite and this one does not. I want to be able to use Norton Safe Web and can not unless I start using Internet Explorer.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Which of the new Hard Drive based Camcorders does FCP6 support?

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Hi Simon,
    If you have already some models in mind
    use [this page|http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/devicelist.php] to find out about compatibility with FCP.
    FYI check out this release note too:
    http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/FinalCut_Pro_6.0rn/
    Speaking more generally about non-tape based cameras, while the HVX-200 remains pretty much unchallenged (specs and cost wise) one camera recently caught my attention: the XDCAM EX. It comes with some impressive features.

  • How do I get rid of the popup that says the safari version I am using does not support the community toolbar?

    Please Help

    You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, back up all data, then follow these instructions.
    If the instructions don't work, proceed as follows.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). From the Finder menu bar, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder…
    Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If it does, delete the selected item.
    Repeat with this line:
    /Applications/Toolbars
    Now you're deleting a folder named "Toolbars". You may be prompted for your login password. Next, copy this line:
    /Library
    Select Go to Folder… again and paste. Don't delete the Library folder. Delete only the following items inside it, if they exist.
    Application Support/Conduit
    InputManagers/CTLoader
    LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
    Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.
    I've seen a report that Conduit may be bundled with a scam "utility" called "MacKeeper." If you installed MacKeeper, you should remove it according to the developer's instructions. It's worthless and causes many problems reported on this site.

  • Cannot install.  Main volume is case-sensitive, but I have a volume that is not.  How do I change the installation volume?  Creative cloud does not support case-sensitive volumes.

    I cannot install creative cloud on my macs main volume which is a case-sensitive volume.   I have a second volume that is not case sensitive.  How can I get the installer to use that volume?

    YOu can't. The CC app itself will always install on the system volume. short of reformatting your volume there is no way to resolve this.

  • OATS CPU does not support the SSE2 instruction set required to run JRockit

    Hello,
    I am trying to get the OATS agents to work on some injector machines, however, when I try to start them I get the following error:
    "[ERROR] Your CPU does not support the SSE2 instruction set required to run JRockit.
    Could not create the Java Virtual Machine."
    Is there a way to configure OATs to use the Sun JDK instead? I have the Sun JDK in my path and JAVA_HOME set accordingly, however that doesn't seem to make a difference. Alternatively, is there a workaround to this problem?
    Thanks,
    Michael.

    Hi Tab,
    In this case, SQL Server Analysis Services doesn’t support Distributed Transactions by design. Here is a similar thread about this issue for your reference, please see:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8b07be45-01b6-49d4-b773-9f441c0e44c9/olaplinked-server-error-msolap-for-linked-server-olaplinked-server-does-not-support-the?forum=sqlanalysisservices
    One workaround is that use SQLCMD to execute the EXEC AT command and saved the results to a file, then import using SSIS.

  • I would like to sign-up for an  e-card web site.  However, I am not able to hear the music on the web-site.  It says that Apple does not support MIDI music.  Why is it Apple does not support MIDI music and what can I do about it?

    What other software can I download in order for me to listen to the music on this web-page?

    Please don't tell my wife this, she's been working with MIDI on her Mac(s) since the turn of the century...
    The statement from that web site is completely incorrect. What they probably meant was that their software doesn't support Mac. IMHO this is a sign of either ignorance or lack of concern on the part of the site creators. Back in the dark ages a lot of PC apps didn't support Mac but not these days.
    Get into your Mac Help window and search MIDI. There's plenty of info there on how your Mac supports MIDI.
