Sorry for the mess up. I hope this does it.

Thanks again for your time.

Thank you for your time. I hope we did what you ask.

Thanks. I just talked on the phone with my daughter and she is sending me the results which I will send on.

My daughter and I both run Win 7 in VirtualBox on Dell laptops running Netrunner 2nd edition (Kubuntu 12.04). She has to run Windows this way to gain access to her college network. She installs the required college protection software in Windows and then can log in through something called a nac age...

Thanks for the information. I have used CloneVDI in wine a couple of times. i will keep this in mind.

Thanks agian for your comments and clarifications. Thay are helpful to me and future readers. However, I do still have a couple of concerns. 1. You mention discarding the old VM and creating a new one using the old VDI, after changing the default machine folder in preferences. I assume you appreciat...

Thanks for your concern and wise input. I agree with it in most cases and others reading this should take it to heart. As to what you can do: compressed.dat is not a file used by VirtualBox, that I know of. My conclusion as well. There was really nothing else there. Why all the partitions on that la...

OK, thanks for all the input. Based on what has been said I think I will advise her to try deleting the .VirtualBox folder which contains machine and Compressed.dat If that breaks it I see no more harm done than just deleting and staring over. . . . Look in the preference settings of VirtualBox and ...

Because you made a dynamic VDI that was bigger than the space you put it in. I don't think so. The vid was set for 14GB and the partition was 15GB (see above). You would need to look at the contents of the partition to see what is taking the drive space. Regardless of what it is there is no room le...

Thanks for the tip, but in this case the vdi is only 2.4GB.

sda8 15 GB – 15GB used, NTFS, primary Vbox vdi Full. Yes, but the question is why? The title should have been "but the vdi is not and there should not be anything else in the partition". This is a partition that only housed the vdi. When the required updates started this was not full. Yes...

The error message means that the host partition, the one the VDI is stored on, is full (actually I thought I was already pretty clear about that in the first sentence of my previous message). I apologize. I guess in my haste I missed you whole first reply. Also I only gave details of semesters to s...

Sorry. I should have included these. The laptop is not mine and is not here, so I will go from memory and confirm tonight. the laptop is a Dell Latitude D430 (almost netbook size, which is why she likes it, but with the more power). Size of VDI -- I am almost certain they were in the 14 GB range Use...
