The cause appears to be clear.

It isn't really relevant what paths exist on your friends computer. Does that path exist on yours? VirtualBox says not, in which case you need to correct it. So far you have not given me enough information to tell you how. I don't know what drive D is on your system (if anything), I don't know that the named path exist, and I don't know if the names files exist.

Most likely, your PC has different drive letter assignments. "D" quite often refers to a CD/DVD drive.

If you have the same problem then you can solve it by reviewing the above thread. What else needs to be said? Make the path exist, or correct it.

In that last question, how should the user "correct it"?

@raywood
Don't hijack and try to resurrect a dead thread. Instead open a new one. Where you clearly describe your problem, not isolate a tiny portion of it. We need for example to see the exact error, we need to hear the exact details of how you ended up getting this error (what you did or not).

So, please open a new thread with an appropriate title and a complete description, as I'm going to lock this one. It was already marked as [Solved]...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
