Virtual Disk Mounting: Daemon Tools Lite error

Post by James Millere »

I am using DAEMON TOOLS LITE in my Windows 8 but it is showing file error.
I am also Ubuntu in other bootable drive. Is this not happening because of this or firewall or antivirus software?

What do to now?

Thanks

Moved from the "Virtual Disk Mounting" topic in "Third Party Apps". This isn't a Virtualbox problem either, rather a Daemon Tools problem, but I figured "Using Virtualbox" was the closest-on-topic place it could go.

Be sure all VMs accessing the disk file are shut down, and yes antivirus or host OS permissions might get in the way.

On a Windows host, 7-zip can open Virtualbox .vdi files for extracting documents within the disk to the host OS.

I would say that it belongs in "Windows Hosts" - moving it there now. IMO it isn't a generic VirtualBox usage issue hence doesn't belong in "Using VirtualBox".

On the question, I don't believe much can be said without seeing details of what "file error" means. The file could be missing, not recognized, corrupted etc. I note that it doesn't claim support for VDI. The way that information is presented (i.e. it isn't) would make me wary of trusting it.
