After moving my partition along my hard drive, I found that my Windows 10.vbox file was completely empty (but still existed). Some searching online didn't fix my problem, so I created a new VM called "Windows 11" and took Windows 11.vbox file and changed all instances of "Windows 11" to "Windows 10". I also changed the UUID to the Windows 10 machine. When there was a conflict, because two machines had the same UUID, I deleted the Windows 11 machine.
Now I'm having some peculiar errors. Have a look:
This happens when I start up the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager. When I click on check, Windows 10.vdi is the only image listed. It's not lost - the path matches the file location. But when I go to run the machine, I get the next error.One or more disk image files are not currently accessible. As a result, you will not be able to operate virtual machines that use these files until they become accessible later.
Press Check to open the Virtual Media Manager window and see which files are inaccessible, or press Ignore to ignore this message.
Some searching led me to people who's paths needed to be fixed, but I'm fairly sure my path is fine. Can anybody tell what's MediumWrap?Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 10.
Could not open the medium '/home/tony/VirtualBox VMs/Windows10/Windows 10.vdi'.
VD: error VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND opening image file '/home/tony/VirtualBox VMs/Windows10/Windows 10.vdi' (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MediumWrap
Interface: IMedium {4afe423b-43e0-e9d0-82e8-ceb307940dda}
I think the problem is that the machine is expecting to find a saved state (like a snapshot, maybe?), but since this is all very contrived, I fear that there is no way to create the right conditions for a proper startup. I call on the experts to help me.
Note: I have about 1 month of work on the machine, so if you're going to suggest that I just make a new VM, please try to include a way for me to copy this image that I have to the new VM.
Thanks all!
