Cannot import from Win7 to Mac OS X

Post by Coled »

Hi,

I created an appliance running Win7 on my Win7 PC and exported it to the ova-format. I copied it to my cousins MacBook Air with Mac OS X but cannot import it!

I get the message:
"
The appliance XYZ could not be imported.

Could not create the clone medium XYZ (VERR_VD_VMDK_INVALID_FORMAT)

details:

error code: VBOX_E_FILEERROR (0x80BB0004)
component: appliance
interface: |Appliance {3059cf9e-25c7-4f0b-9fa5-3c42e441670b}"


Is there an easy solution to this? I actually wanted to prepare the machine before she comes over so that I just have to import it. I could install it from scratch on her Mac but this would mean a lot of configuration which I actually already did to the exported appliance.

Thanks!
