Was the physical disk of the original server partitioned? Did it by chance have a hidden "system" partition (this was very often the case with old servers)? Did you bring along all existing partitions during the P2V process, or did you meddle with the partitioning? Reboot and Select proper Boot device", which is the VM BIOS's way to tell you that the disk doesn't look bootable at all so this looks more like a problem with the disk's MBR and/or partition table. However, the error message you're getting is "Boot failure. As Chris S said, Windows is quite likely to not be able to boot after a P2V, due to the (virtual) disk controller for the system disk being different from what it would expect after it was last shut down this is generally fixed by loading the proper drivers in the original system before P2Ving it, or by mangling with it afterwards by mounting the virtual disk on a running machine.
