Hyper-V creation of virtual machine with generation 2 type

---

Hi,

Please ITPRoTV Experts, help me out !!! . I tried to create a virtual machine with generation 2 type and did not have any success. Using the same bootable iso image, I successfully created a virtual machine with generation type 1. The error message reads "Boot Failed. EFI SCSI Failed. Please press any key to continue" with generation 2 type. I searched through several blogs and tried several things such as making VHDX file with GPT format, unchecking the Secure Boot Option, placing the DVD in the first boot order, and even pressing /holding down any key during the booting process. The result was still fruitless. Would you please help me unstuck on this thing? Thank you much !!!

Ok... here is what you do.

Before you startup or turn on the virtual machine you're creating, make sure you've pressed any key. The Hyper-V is so freaking fast now that it flashes up in like .00000000000000001 microsecs (Yes, that's an hyperbole.) that you miss it. So the easy way is before it start...have a key held down.

Thank you, Ronnie. I liked your analogy, using a very tiny, tiny fraction of a second to illustrate the Hyper-V ( which I jokingly called HumVee). Before connecting and starting the virtual machine, I pressed and held down the Shift key, and then connect and start the vm. It still remains the same error as shown above.

One notice is that the message that reads "press any key to boot from CD or DVD..." is not shown up. I am not sure if the ISO image file is tampered some thing else needs to be configured properly. Any idea? Please advise.

I persistently ask for this help because the virtual lab does not include the creation of virtual machine with gen 2 in Hyper-V.

**Updated: I finally and successfully created a virtual machine with gen 2 within Hyper-V. The culprit was the tampered installation ISO image which I assumed in question in the previous Q/A thread. It really confused me because this corrupted installation ISO image worked well with creation of a virtual machine with gen 1.

I tried again with newly downloaded installation ISO image, and then voila.. the message that read **Press any key to boot from CD or DVD...**appeared.

            Thanks Ronnie for the 0.0000000000001 second example.

@Truong-Hoang61,

glad it helped. Yeah this is where getting the hash values for the ISOs are really helpful!
