Trying to run Backtrack5R2x64

Post by IllIum »

Hi,

When I point Virtualbox to the BackTrack5R2x64.ISO file I get this error:

Failed to open the CD/DVD image C:\BackTrack\BT5R2-KDE-64.iso.

Could not get the storage format of the medium 'C:\BackTrack\BT5R2-KDE-64.iso' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

Result Code: VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)
Component: Medium
Interface: IMedium {53f9cc0c-e0fd-40a5-a404-a7a5272082cd}
Callee: IVirtualBox {c28be65f-1a8f-43b4-81f1-eb60cb516e66}

The ISO appears to be ok such that I can mount it & view it....does anyone know what this error means?


Thanks.

Your download is corrupt. Check the md5sum

I'm having the exact same problem while trying to add backtrack. My download was made directly from the backtrack website, however, so is it possible that the file is still corrupt? Would re-downloading the file help?

Perhaps. Have you checked the file to see if it is in fact corrupt?
