Hi,

I'd run a OpenSUSE in a VM under WinXP - worked great, but today i installed VirtualBox 3.0.8.
Now I get an error if i try to start the old VM.

'C:\PROGRA~1\Sun\XVMVIR~1\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' is not accessible. Could not access the image file 'C:\PROGRA~1\Sun\XVMVIR~1\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso' (VERR_PATH_NOT_FOUND
Fehlercode:
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Komponente:
Machine
Interface:
IMachine {540dcfda-3df2-49c6-88fa-033a28c2ff85}

What to do now? got important files in this system :(

Unmount the cd in the guest settings before you start the guest.

Had the same problem with Ubuntu. Unmounting the media from the guest isn't intuitive, because I want to install guest additions!
What you need to do is release/remove the old guest additions, run your VM and then go to Devices->Install Guest Additions.
