virtualbox.org

I am using Virtualbox on windows7 host. I have installed to machins 1) Fedora and 2) XP. I am not able to run my Fedora OS. it shows the following message


Runtime error opening 'C:\Users\Hiren\.VirtualBox\Machines\Fedora\Fedora.xml' for reading: -102 (File not found.).
D:\tinderbox\win-4.1\src\VBox\Main\src-server\MachineImpl.cpp[707] (Machine::registeredInit).
Result Code:
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component:
VirtualBox
Interface:
IVirtualBox {c28be65f-1a8f-43b4-81f1-eb60cb516e66}


Is there any way to solve this problem? I want my Fedora to work properly back without lossing any data.

That error indicates that the machine can not be found. Exactly what it says.
Does the *.VDI file actually exist, or do you use snapshots and the snapshot is missing?
Did you have a system crash or what caused this?

I don't know how it happened? Yesterday i tried to run the machine but virtual box has shown I am not using snapshot. *.VDI file exist for Fedora on my system (PATH- C:/Usrs/Hiren/.VirtualBox/HariDisks/Fedora, Type-Virtual Disk Image, Size:43.6GB). [img]E:\Hiren\New.bmp[/img]



C:/User/Hiren/.VirtualBox/MAchines/Fedora contains following files 1)Director "Log" 2) Directory "Snapshots" 3) Fedora.xml-prev file and 4) Fedora.xml-tmp file.

Help Please.

Well there are several things you can try.
1) Make a backup of the Fedora.xml-prev and then rename it to Fedora.xml See if it will fix this.
2) Remove the guest from VirtualBox main manager (DO not delete) and the create the guest again using the original *.vdi file instead of creating a new HDD.
Try to keep the values as close to original as you can.

I am experiencing the same error and have been struggling with this nightmare after such great luck with VIRTUAL BOX...
