[Solved] Impossible open VMs
Re: Impossible open VMs
I did create this VM with number 1 and now it doesn't work anymore ... And if it doesn't exist anymore, how to re-create it?
Re: Impossible open VMs
You're not answering the question:
Does the PATH that appears on the error message exist on the second PC? If not then that's the root cause of your problem! I.e. there is no V:\ Path on the second PC and the Virtual Machine that you insist you copied to that machine is in a different path. The guys that are trying to help need to know where it is, so find it in your Host's File Manager and report its full location! A Screenshot of your File Manager's Screen showing your Drive Structure and the File Path would really help them.

I am not interested in more assertions, as I'm trying to bring this discussion to a conclusion. So proof please. E.g. browse to that folder in your hosts file manager then post a screenshot of the window showing that complete path (including drive letter) in a caption.Pibakou wrote:I did create this VM with number 1 and now it doesn't work anymore ...

Assuming that the error message is in fact correct and the path indeed does not exist then you want to know how to fix the problem. Actually I already alluded to the fix in an earlier post, when I said that I suspect you are unnecessarily copying VirtualBox.xml between hosts, presumably in the belief that this is how you move VMs. It isn't. For the correct way to move VMs see the FAQ: Howto: Move a VM.

Re: Impossible open VMs
Please find the following file in the picture:
V:\VirtualBox\VM Pierre Windows 7 (32-bit)\VM Pierre Windows 7 (32-bit).vbox
You can't!!! So can't VirtualBox.
V:\VirtualBox\VM Pierre Windows 7 (32-bit)\VM Pierre Windows 7 (32-bit).vbox

Re: Impossible open VMs
I made this screenshot on Number 2 ... And on Number 2 all is working ... I installed th VM in one external HD. It's the same HD I use on both computers, Number 1 and Number 2.
Re: Impossible open VMs
And, as Socratis has already pointed out the Path to the VM on your external Drive is:
V:\VirtualBox\Windows 7 (32-bit)\Windows 7 (32-bit).vbox
AND NOT, NOT, NOT, ABSOLUTELY NOT:
V:\VirtualBox\VM Pierre Windows 7 (32-bit)\VM Pierre Windows 7 (32-bit).vbox
V:\VirtualBox\Windows 7 (32-bit)\Windows 7 (32-bit).vbox
AND NOT, NOT, NOT, ABSOLUTELY NOT:
V:\VirtualBox\VM Pierre Windows 7 (32-bit)\VM Pierre Windows 7 (32-bit).vbox

So your #1 PC isn't working and you show a screenshot from #2. Hmmmm....Pibakou wrote:Number 1 (from where I installed previously Windows 7 (32-bit) on one external WD HD, was working first and not anymore now):
Do you see the problem in your posted info? Do you see which computer you need to post the screenshot from?mpack wrote:I await with interest the proof (not a mere assertion) that the path "V:\VirtualBox\VM Pierre Windows 7 (32-bit)" actually exists, on the machine which is displaying the error.

You still misunderstood. That screenshot is not a command window. Google is your friend....Pibakou wrote:Hello,
