Using vboxmanage snapshot loses pointer to vdi

Post by joeybagdnts »

Hello

I tried doing the following from a commandline (in Windows)

Code: Select all

vboxmanage snapshot "Virual XP" restorecurrent
The command executes successfully, however when I try to start the VM, I get the error:
FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted.

Examining the settings of my VM, I noticed that the vdi that the vm usually uses is missing from the Storage Tree. If I click the Add Hard Disk button, I can add it back, but I was hoping to restore my snapshot from the commandline.

So, did I execute the commandline incorrectly, or is there a way to re-add my vdi via vboxmanage?

Thanks in advance
