Can't clone VHD
Posted: 21. May 2009, 00:10
I am a new VirtualBox user. I have a VHD disk, originally created in Microsoft VPC, running superbly on VirtualBox 2.2.2 under a Vista x64 host.
My problem is that I cannot clone the disk. Here is a sample session:
c:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe clonehd Basil.vhd Basil2.vhd
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.2.2
(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

0%...FAILED
Error: failed to clone hard disk. Error message: Could not create the clone hard
disk 'G:\VirtualBox\Disks\Basil2.vhd' (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER)[/code]
Windows displays an error "VirtualBox Interface has stopped working".
I have tried with absolute paths, quotes around the paths, rebooting, reinstalling VirtualBox, recreating the VM, starting and stopping the VM, or cloning to a VDI disk. Nothing helps. What am I doing wrong?
