If you want to recover from original vmdk file, please follow below steps. This is not recommended, but a repair method when you forget to backup properly with with ova file.

Let’s take MEmu_1 as an example.

1. Run MemuHyperv.exe with admin privilege (Where can I get it? Click here)

2. Click Add in MemuHyperv

3. Select MEmu_1.memu to add.

4. Click Settings for MEmu_1 and check the sequence of 3 disks. The correct sequence is “system(540MB) –> data(16GB) –> sdcard(32GB)”. If they are not in order, please remove and attach again.

5. Open MEmu Multiple Instances Manager and run MEmu_1. If you can not find MEmu_1 in it, please close all MEmu* processes in Windows Task Manager and open it again.

Note: If you still can not run MEmu_1 correctly or get below error message,

please make sure the two VM uuid strings in .MemuHyperv.xml and Memu.memu.xml are exactly same. In addition, double confirm the VM path in MemuHyperv.xml is correct.
