Babak,

Only when you are restoring GPT formatted partition to a machine that does not support GPT (usually you can see this on legacy motherboards systems where you must enable the legacy mode to boot properly). Cheers!

Check the boot settings on your VM:

- Select the VM
- Right click settings
- Go to Options
- Go to Advanced
- On the right side of pane you should see the the boot option: switch it to BIOS if it's set to EFI
