I read somewhere that this error can be caused by insufficient disk space. This, however, was definitely not the case for me, because the the OVA itself was only 300MB, and my disk had over 130GB free.
The next thing I tried was unzipping the OVA, as it is stored as a tarball. I go a vmdk and an OVF out of it, but importing the OVF just gave me the same error.
The DiskSection of the OVF wanted only 50GB, so I still couldn't understand why the error was happening. I had enough space.
The next thing I tried was using clonehd on the vmdk, to convert it into a VDI (vboxmanage clonehd "pathtomyvmdk" "out.vdi" --format VDI). This comes up with a VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED error.<DiskSection> <Info>List of the virtual disks used in the package</Info> <Disk ovf:capacity="53687091200" ovf:diskId="vmdisk1" ovf:fileRef="file1" ovf:format="http://www.vmware.com/interfaces/specif ... mOptimized (http://www.vmware.com/interfaces/specif ... mOptimized)" vbox:uuid="bd181fc7-d759-44be-b050-64265c742f96" </DiskSection>
I tried using convertfromraw on the vmdk to convert it to a VDI that way, and it works, but I don't really know what to do with the VDI after this. The vdi wont mount (nor will the VMDK).
So I really don't know what to do at this point. I really badly need this Virtual machine, and this is the only backup I made of it.VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR

In case this matters, I will post the beginning of the vmdk file.
