Description
Hello!
I'm seeing a lot of potential in this as a new VM solution for me to use in place of Hyper-V! Only problem is I can't simply add my already-made Hyper-V guest disk to a VM in App Sandbox. When I did it manually in the config file, it appeared to boot but not be able to talk to the VM because the guest tools (or whatever it uses) weren't installed. It would be nice if adding/repairing guest tools was an option.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the configuration path for attaching an existing virtual disk and the current guest-tools setup; completion should define a supported preconfigured disk option and specify how guest tools are installed or repaired so the guest can communicate with the VM.
