Hello all,
I have created an encrypted VDI and exported it to my HDD.
I wiped my HDD and reinstall my OS (win 10) and now i am not able to import the VDI.
I really dont know if this sitsuation accurs due to the encryption or the import/export process.
when i setup a new machine with the VDI it gives me this error:
no bootabloe medium found! system halted
thx for the help!

Re: Encrypted VDI
From the relevant parts of the user manual (Chapter 9.31 Encryption of disk images):
which translates in plain English to:Since the DEK (ed.: Data Encryption Keys) is stored as part of the VM configuration file, it is important that it is kept safe. Losing the DEK means that the data stored in the disk images is lost irrecoverably. Having complete and up to date backups of all data related to the VM is the responsibility of the user.
- It's not just the VDI(s), it's the whole VM folder, including the configuration/recipe, which holds the password.

Re: Encrypted VDI
Thanks for the reply.
Well i have 3 files that the clone created:
1.*.vbox
2.vbox-prev file
3.the VDI.
As i understand i needed to backup the folder of the virtualbox regardless.
So there is nothing to do?
Thank you

The clone is irrelevant. It can't help you in this case.Microsover wrote:Well i have 3 files that the clone created:
