ESXi Host died and using Veeam to restore VM to new host worked but VM boot "error loading operating system"
I have a Cisco UCS host that died and so I am restoring my VMs to a Dell PowerEdge and one of the VM's won't boot after restoring form Veeam. I get "Error Loading Operating Sytem"

The original had 504MB CPUs 2 and BusLogic Parallel. So everything is the same other then yes the hardware changed.
It was a Cisco UCS blade and restoring to a Dell PowerEdge Server

well i would also try and boot with VMware player on a laptop, just to test.
try another image if you have one to ensure its not a bad image.
Are you restoring on the fly or disk to disk with proxy?

some things i would check
Did i have specific hardware on other host, like Pass-Thru, hard drive or modem?
Is there enough space to expand about 10% for esxi to startup?
is the RAM allocation changed? did i start with 10 and reduce to 6?
VM hardware version the same or higher then the host requirements?
make sure if you were running ESXi 5.1.1 that i atleast use that version to restore into?
Take a deep breath and think my friend. ill monitor and try to help!
