1. I had been an avid follower of VMWARE until recently wherein I have shifted my loyalties to VIRTUAL BOX....simple,easy....and the best part is that it is OPENSOURCE.One problem that I often used to face was that when I copied a VDI file from one place to another...it used to give me a message as shown in the screen shot below that said something like " Failed to open the hardddisk F:\....\.....vdi.So I used to keep trying ways and means but that remained unsolved.But there is a single command line solution to this that goes like this...(also shown in the screen shot).Goto the command prompt first as administrator.
Goto the folder C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox by typing
c:\>cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox
and then type
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe internalcommands sethduuid "h:\path to the vdi folder\yourvdifilename.vdi"
and this should give a message similar to this
(CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE)
thats it...now open...u should not get the message!!!
Thank you much for this. Was just doing the same and needed this info.
ReplyDeletehappy to know that i have been able to help....:-)
