Hi Guys,

My VM is showing as inaccessible again, displaying this error:

Start tag expected, '<' not found.
Location: '/Users/bnbn6k/Library/VirtualBox/Machines/WIndows XP 2/WIndows XP 2.xml', line 1 (0), column 1.
/Users/vbox/tinderbox/3.1-mac-rel/src/VBox/Main/MachineImpl.cpp[5821] (nsresult Machine::loadSettings(bool)).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
VirtualBox
Interface:
IVirtualBox {2158464a-f706-414b-a8c4-fb589dfc6b62}

Any suggestions?

Kind Regards,

Adam

... or 'Upload attachment' your VirtualBox.xml and a directory listing (including file sizes and date/times) of your .VirtualBox directory and sub-directories (including the HardDisk folder and the machine snapshot folder).
