[!] Text = Cannot unregister the machine 'Fedora Core

Post by sanemanmad »

Hello All,

Thank you for reading this post. I am simply trying to re-assign my physical drive to my VM using this command:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage modifyvm "Fedora Core" -hda "./var/vbox/fc10.vdi"
when i receive this error:

Code: Select all

[!] FAILED calling machine->AttachHardDisk2(uuid, StorageBus::IDE, 0, 0) at line 1891!
[!] Primary RC  = VBOX_E_OBJECT_IN_USE (0x80BB000C) - Object being in use prohibits operation
[!] Full error info present: true , basic error info present: true
[!] Result Code = VBOX_E_OBJECT_IN_USE (0x80BB000C) - Object being in use prohibits operation
[!] Text        = Hard disk '/home/hodgdonm/.VirtualBox/var/vbox/fc.vdi' is already attached to device slot 0 on channel 0 of bus 1 of this virtual machine
[!] Component   = Machine, Interface: IMachine, {ea6fb7ea-1993-4642-b113-f29eb39e0df0}
[!] Callee      = IMachine, {ea6fb7ea-1993-4642-b113-f29eb39e0df0}
The cause of this was during my first go-around i created a too small partition and needed to reregister my VM, now it is stuck, can someone point me in the right direction to unmount fc.vdi from my VM?
