I use Fixed Size Storage. After cloning and moving a .VDI to a new machine, so that I could increase the size of the Virtual Hard Drive, I ran into issue where the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso would not mount properly, no matter what I tried. I searched through these forums and other various sites for a solution. Below is what fixed it for me, I hope this will save others some time.
After doing this, I no longer got the lock error and I was able to mount and reinstall the Guest Additions normally.
