[SOLVED] New Virtual Disk - Error

[BassKozz]

It's me again, I am back with a new problem...
I tried to create a new virtual disk on a secondary hard drive and I was presented with the following error:


I even tried to do this manually:

Code: Select all

:~$ sudo VBoxManage createvdi -filename /media/extra_storage1/VirtualBox-extra_storage/VDI/WinXP-Work-extra_storage.vdi -size 100000
[sudo] password for user:
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.5.4

All rights reserved.

Disk image created. UUID: a00c5b67-df89-4090-bfab-a2775f1126aa

but when I went into the Virtual Disk Manager and tried to add the .vdi file I got yet another error:


I even tried the same command above again, but this time I used the "-register" switch, and still a no-go
any idea's?

p.s. Yes I have already added myself to the vboxusers group

Duh... I had to set the folder permissions:

Code: Select all

sudo chown -R <user> /media/extra_storage1/VirtualBox-extra_storage/

Where <user> is my username...
I should be on the payroll for solving my own problems
