[Fixed] Help with corrupted xml file (0x80BB000A)

[betoaoki]

I've been running WindowsXP on VirtualBox 2.1.4 and Ubuntu 8.04, unfortunately there was a power loss and since then I can't load the WindowsXP virtual machine due to the message below.


Could not load the settings file '/home/beto/.VirtualBox/Machines/WinXP/WinXP.xml'.
Premature end of data in tag VirtualBox line 3.
Location: '/home/beto/.VirtualBox/Machines/WinXP/WinXP.xml', line 88 (3), column 1.

Modedit: It would help if you used code blocks yourself

Create a new VM and attach the VDI to that new VM, then print out the faulty xml file, read it and set the VM settings as you are reading.
