Copying an image from another machine, into a VirtualBox that - currently - has no images at all, getting:
Failed to open virtual machine located in ...\..vbox
Could not find and open hard disk with UUID
Host : Windows 7, 64bit
VBox 4.3.23
Client is a Linux 64 bit
From what I read on "the internet" I should mess with the VBOX file itself (which is an XML file really), but I don't fancy that. Is there a proper solution for this ?
That same image was already imported into VBox before. But, by means of deleting it, all references should be gone.
Hence, importing a new one should not make reference to something that should not be there, like a disk reference of some kind.

Re: Could not find and open hard disk with UUID
The procedure described in the link does not tell you to copy images into another VM.
Also, the procedure described in the link is known to always work, which is why it is there as a FAQ.

Well, the fact it didn't for me, makes that statement false.mpack wrote:Also, the procedure described in the link is known to always work, which is why it is there as a FAQ.

Nobody except you mentioned restarting Windows.
So, explain where the FAQ was wrong?
