Hi!

One of my VPS is a Virtualizor KVM VPS, in Virtualizor CP there is a rescue mode, when enabled, it will let you login to a Debain OS, and I try command like this not working:

wget -O- http://mirror.whatuptime.com/besw26/releases/Microsoft_Windows_Server_2012_R2_Standard_VL_64-bit_US_English.gz | gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda

   

Please provide the error(s) you are receiving as well as the output from "fdisk -l" when in rescue mode.

root@rescue:~# fdisk -l

Your primary issue is the command you provided at the beginning of this thread would attempt to install the Microsoft Windows template to disk "/dev/sda", however your virtual server doesn't have a disk with that label. Using the fdisk output provided you will need to install to "/dev/vdb" which the actual disk for your virtual machine.

Does your virtual machine use VirtIO for the disk device?

Hi！

you mean /dev/vdb or /dev/vdb1  ?
