New hard drive in Mac - can't launch VB

Post by ZeshanRaja »

Hi All

I have recently had my hard drive changed and they restored all my data from the old drive to the new drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Virtual Box.

When i try to start it i get the following message:

Could not open the medium '/Users/zeshanraja/VirtualBox VMs/Windows ZR Final/Windows ZR Final.vdi'.
VD: error VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND opening image file '/Users/zeshanraja/VirtualBox VMs/Windows ZR Final/Windows ZR Final.vdi' (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).


Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
MediumWrap
Interface:
IMedium {4afe423b-43e0-e9d0-82e8-ceb307940dda}


Is anyone able to help?

Many Thanks

That looks a simple error message to me. VirtualBox can't find the .vdi file. It should be easy to check where that file is and move it if it is not where VirtualBox thinks it should be. What files are Users/zeshanraja/VirtualBox VMs/Windows ZR Final/?
