Problem Creating Virtual Hard Disk

Post by Katie50 »

I keep getting this message

the link is a screenshot of the problem

The hard disk storage unit at location C:\---\---\-- already exists. You cannot create a new virtual hard disk that uses this location because it can be already used by another virtual hard disk.

How do I fix this

  1. There's no link.
  2. Screenshots are good, but text is: easier, more convenient, smaller size, searchable and quotable.
  3. We don't like dashes, ex's and asterisks. We like to see the error message as is, complete, unfiltered, unobfuscated and 100% unmodified.
  4. What are you doing when you're getting this error? I need the step-by-step procedure to reproduce it...
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.
