I had to extend the boot drive on a VM that also happened to run the application our entire company used to make products. This was back in the day when extending VM drives took forever because of the way the hypervisor worked. I only had a small window to do this between our Europe plants going offline and the US plants starting up.
So I used a community tool that would extend the drive in seconds. Turn the VM back on and queue “NTLDR is missing”. I also discovered that the backups for that server hadn’t completed successfully in so long there was nothing to restore from. In my effort to save 30-45 minutes, cost me 8 hours completely rebuilding the server and a day of lost production in the US plants.

I am so sorry for this ordeal. It’s so funny though.
