vboxmanage ....... -type immutable

[gboswellsac]

I'm trying to make a drive immutable so students can't change doing experments with the guest (Win7) guest. I did the following and verified the location of files, even used command completion to assure no typing errors...... What am I doing wrong?

Just out of curiosity I tried as non-root and worked perfect..... solution do not do as root...duh..I leave this just incase I forget.
