Hi!

I my trying importing an .ova or .ovf in virtual box, but I'm encountering the error below.

In the case of .ovf:

Error opening 'C:\Users\Ariane\Desktop\EBSD\vdisk0.vmdk' for reading (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

And in the case of .ova:
Failed to import appliance C:\Users\Ariane\Downloads\ebsd.ova.

Error reading OVA 'C:\Users\Ariane\Downloads\ebsd.ova' (VERR_TAR_CHKSUM_MISMATCH).

It sounds like a corrupted file case. Re-download the file if you can and if there's a checksum make sure that it matches.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
