The error code 0xc03a0014, indicating that a virtual disk support provider for the specified file was not found, typically arises when using virtualization software like Hyper-V or when dealing with virtual hard disks (VHDs). Here are steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Steps to Fix Error 0xc03a0014

Check Virtual Disk File Path:

Ensure that the path to the virtual disk file (VHD or VHDX) is correct.

If the file was moved or renamed, update the location in your virtualization settings.

Verify Virtual Disk Format:

- Make sure the virtual disk file is in the correct format. If the file is corrupted, you may need to recover or replace it.

**Reattach the Virtual Disk**:

   - If you're using Hyper-V, try removing the virtual disk from the virtual machine and reattaching it.

      - Right-click on the VM, select **Settings**, navigate to the **Hard Drive** section, and add the virtual disk again.

      **Check Virtual Machine Configuration**:

         - Ensure that the VM is configured correctly to use the specified virtual disk.

            - Verify that the virtual machine is not configured to use a disk that is not connected or available.

            **Install or Update Virtualization Software**:

               - If you’re using Hyper-V, ensure that it is properly installed and updated. Sometimes, an outdated version can lead to compatibility issues.

                  - Check for Windows updates as well, since virtualization features may rely on certain updates.

                  **Enable Virtualization in BIOS/UEFI**:

                     - Ensure that virtualization is enabled in your system's BIOS or UEFI settings. Look for options like Intel VT-x or AMD-V.

                     **Check for Disk Space**:

                        - Ensure there is enough disk space on the host machine for the virtual disk to function correctly. Low disk space can cause issues with virtual disks.

                        **Repair or Recover Virtual Disk**:

                           - If the virtual disk file is corrupted, consider using recovery software to attempt to repair it. Tools like DiskInternals or Stellar Data Recovery might help in this situation.

                           **Consult Event Viewer**:

                              - Open the Event Viewer (search for "Event Viewer" in the Start menu) and check for any related error messages under **Windows Logs > Application**. This may provide additional clues on what went wrong.

                              **Consider Recreating the Virtual Disk**:

                                 - If all else fails, you may need to create a new virtual disk and attach it to the virtual machine. You can then try to recover data from the old disk if necessary.

Additional Resources

If you continue to experience difficulties after trying the above steps, consider checking forums or support pages specific to your virtualization software for further assistance. Engaging with community forums may provide insights from users who faced similar issues.

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

There is a timing issue with FSDepends.sys and with VHDMP.sys. This timing issue occurs when certain backup programs are installed on Windows Server computers. For details, please refer to the following link:

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best regards
