[Solved] 4.3.40 virtual machines not shown on 5.0.40
Posted: 10. Nov 2017, 20:17
I was running virtualbox 4.3.40 on linux mint 17.3 Rosa x64 cinnamon and the boot partition became corrupted due to a hard drive failure. I cloned the drive to a new one, but the boot partition was unrecoverable. As a result I installed linux mint 18.2 Sonya x64 cinnamon in its place.
My data partition was undamaged, which holds my virtial machines. I installed virtualbox 5.0.40 from the mint repository, but I am finding that my virtual machines are not being listed. What do I need to do to access my virtual machines? Am I going to have to uninstall 5.0.40 and install 4.3.40 from old releases? Is there a utility to modify the virtual machines to work with 5.0.40 as necessary?
