Virtual Box OVA Import Error

Post by Dan33 »

Did any of you encounter a similar error log when importing an OVA to Vbox?

Failed to import appliance C:\DownloadedFiles\Programs\Oracle_Developer_Day.ova.
Could not create the clone medium 'C:\Documents and Settings\tpfaeffl\VirtualBox VMs\Oracle Developer Days\Oracle DB Developer Day-disk1.vmdk'.
VMDK: cannot write allocated data block in 'C:\Documents and Settings\tpfaeffl\VirtualBox VMs\Oracle Developer Days/Oracle DB Developer Day-disk1.vmdk'

What could be the possible solutions for this? Memory related? I currently have 40GB disk space left for my drive.

Thanks!

And how much space (approximately) is the VM that you want to import expected to take?
