Dear Sirs,
I changed the location of the .vdi file to a different location on the hard disk, so I got an error message, but when I returned the file back to its original location, I got also the same message.
The Question:
How can I reattach this file?
How - usually- change the location of any vdi file I have.
Thank you and Best regards,
Abdul Hai

Re: Changing the VDI file location
When you move a VDI file to a different location, you first have to detach it from the current VM(s), unregister it from the Media Manager, move it, then register it again and attach it to the VM(s) it belongs to.
