+Hyper-V on Windows Server 2022 cannot load images converted from OVA to VHDX by qemu-img: Boot failure. Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device
+Description of problem:
+We have reference OVA image: https://storage.googleapis.com/fastnetmon_advanced_vm_images/fastnetmon-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-2.0.360.0.ova and we want to convert it to VMDX format.
+Steps to reproduce:
+I downloaded reference OVA and converted it to VMDX with three possible options.
+
+With subformat dynamic:
+```
+qemu-img convert fastnetmon-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-2.0.360.0.ova -O vhdx -o subformat=dynamic fastnetmon-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-2.0.360.0.vhdx
+```
+
+And without it:
+```
+qemu-img convert fastnetmon-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-2.0.360.0.ova -O vhdx fastnetmon-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-2.0.360.0.vhdx
+```
+
+And with explicitly setting fixed:
+```
+qemu-img convert fastnetmon-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-2.0.360.0.ova -O vhdx -o subformat=fixed fastnetmon-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-2.0.360.0.vhdx
+```
+
+In all cases I tried loading images using VM of Generation 1 and Generation 2:
+```
+The application encountered an error while attempting to change the state of
+'New Virtual Machine'.
+
+'New Virtual Machine' failed to start.
+
+Microsoft Emulated IDE Controller (Instance ID 83F8638B-8DCA-4152-9EDA-2CA8B33039B4): Failed to Power on with Error 'The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation. Virtual hard disk files must be uncompressed and unencrypted and must not be sparse..
+
+Failed to open attachment 'C:\Program Files\qemu\fastnetmon_non_dynamic.hdx''. Error: 'The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation. Virtual hard disk files must be uncompressed and unencrypted and must not be sparse..
+
+Failed to open attachment 'C:\Program Files\qemu\fastnetmon_non_dynamic.vhdx'. Error: 'The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation. Virtual hard disk files must be uncompressed and unencrypted and must not be sparse.'.
+```
+
+I noticed some similarities with https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/136 and applied workaround to fix it:
+```
+fsutil sparse setflag fastnetmon-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-2.0.360.0.vhdx 0
+``` 
+
+It started complaining that file is being used by another app. I waited long enough and then rebooted server. 
+
+After that error changed to:
+```
+Boot failure. Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device_
+```

+
+For Generation 2 error is slightly different:
+```
+Virtual Machine Boot Summary
+1. SCSI Disk
+(0,0)
+The boot loader did not load an operating system.
+2. Network Adapter (00155D01770C)
+A boot image was not found.
+```

+
+I tried doing conversion from VirtualBox with same OVA and it worked just fine:
+```
+VBoxManage clonehd fastnetmon-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-disk1.vmdk fastnetmon.vhd --format vhd
+```
+
+I believe something is wrong with boot records for VMDX images.
+
+Example of converted VHDX with dynamic flag can be found here: https://storage.googleapis.com/fastnetmon_advanced_vm_images/fastnetmon-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-2.0.356.0.vhdx
