Failed to open VM Error

[MaxMaxwell]

Hey Guy's,
I copied my VM from one drive to another before refreshing my workstation. However, now when I click the VM, I receive the following error message:

"Cannot register the DVD image '/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' {0fe1ba24-f623-405c-a7a9-8c157c9b0520} because a CD/DVD image '/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' with UUID {f6d59efd-7c5f-4679-bb0d-88b36ee6be50} already exists."

Details:

Result Code: NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)
Component: VirtualBox
Interface: IVirtualBox {c28be65f-1a8f-43b4-81f1-eb60cb516e66}

Thoughts?

The host is Ubuntu 11.04 natty and the VM guest is Win7 64bit.

Open the preferences and media manager. See if you can release and remove VBoxGuestAdditions.iso from there. If not them post the *.vbox file for the guest as an attachment.

--- The images do not appear here. I do have one working version that I built from scratch following my refresh though.

If not them post the *.vbox file for the guest as an attachment.

--- How do I do this? Also, what will it do for me?

You have a folder that has the control file (*.vbox) if the guest was created after 4.0 and the file will be located in your home folder > VirtualBox VMs > and name of the guest.
If created before it gets more complicated.

What will it do for you to post the files? Help in resolving your issue.

This is the message that I receive when I attempt to upload the .vbox file:

"The extension vbox is not allowed."

[Perryg]

Change it to *.vbox.txt

Here you go...

<DVDImages>
<Image uuid="{0fe1ba24-f623-405c-a7a9-8c157c9b0520}" location="/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"/>
</DVDImages>

First make sure the guest is shut down (not saved state) and the VirtualBox program is not running.
Make a backup of this file in a safe place. Then edit the file and remove the line I have marked in red (close to the top of the file), leaving the <DVDImages> & </DVDImages> tags above and below. Save and see if it will allow you to start the guest.

It should look like this
<DVDImages>
