SOLVED - Move virtualbox disks from Windows7 to Ubuntu

[foamz]

Hi all

I used to have a few virtualbox instances running in Windows7, I have since gotten so annoyed with Windows that I just backedup/copied everything off and installed Ubuntu without looking back.
I only now realise that I should perhaps have exported my virtualbox instances, because when I try and add them in on Ubuntu now, it just fails.
By clicking "Machine --> Add" and selecting the vbox instance, I get this error:

Code: Select all

Failed to open virtual machine located in /media/2410117610115062/Users/foamz/VirtualBox VMs/TinyXP/TinyXP.vbox.
Shared folder path 'C:\Users\foamz\Downloads' is not absolute
Details:

Result Code: 
NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)
Component: 
SharedFolder
Interface: 
ISharedFolder {8388da11-b559-4574-a5b7-2bd7acd5cef8}
Callee: 
IVirtualBox {d2de270c-1d4b-4c9e-843f-bbb9b47269ff}

I'm guessing that "C:\Users\foamz\Downloads" is the location for my installation ISO.
This happens with all of my virtualbox instances.

From googling around a bit, it seems that this is the way to add instances back into virtualbox. I even tried cloning one instance and add that cloned instance, without any luck.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 64bit and Virtualbox 4.0.8 (not OSE)

Any help would be appreciated.

Turns out to be something pretty simple.
I edited the .vbox file and took out any entries that was reffering to that folder. Now it all works fine
