I have used the VMware Converter software INSIDE the VM in question, to dump out the image file. The only options I chose, following an online guide was to untick the pagefile and hibernation file. I put this in a new directory on a separate SSD as "CapLap-convert". This process completed successfully.
Now I run VirtualBox:
- Click "New"
- Provide a name, "CapLap"
- Chose Windows 7 as the O/S
- Specified 4GB RAM
- Selected "Use an existing virtual hard disk file", and the little icon in the bottom right
- New GUI appears to add the image file.
- Click "Add" and browse to the above new "CapLap-convert.hdd" file
- When press "Open", I get the following error:
I have searched against the various error strings and numbers in here, but nothing is obvious as a resolution.Failed to open the disk image file /Volumes/DAN_DATA/VMs/CapLap-convert/CapLap-convert.hdd.
The medium '/Volumes/DAN_DATA/VMs/CapLap-convert/CapLap-convert.hdd' can't be used as the requested device type (HDD, detected invalid).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MediumWrap
Interface: IMedium {ad47ad09-787b-44ab-b343-a082a3f2dfb1}
Callee: IVirtualBox {d0a0163f-e254-4e5b-a1f2-011cf991c38d}
Callee RC: VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80BB0001)
As this doesn't even create the shell of the VM object, I don't believe I can access log files, though if there are other log files to get at, please direct me and I will post / provide.
Can anyone assist, please?
