Problem accessing E drive on Hyper-V VM after server crash

Question

Running Windows 2016 server with a hyper-v Gen 2. Two hard drive files are attached to the VM, C drive and E drive. The physical box crashed. When it was repaired the server booted as well as all of the VM's with the exception of the E drive on this VM. When I try to access it in the VM it says that it needs to be formatted. I can't do a Chkdsk on it as it says it is a REFS drive format and doesnt require it. I dont recall the format type when I created it. There are a number of AVHDX files as well as the VHDX. When I choose the drive and inspect all the drives link back to each parent one by one to the VHDX files. Not sure what the next step should be? Merge the drives and then see if it works? Any help much appreciated. Critical data, on the drive, of course.
