I made the error in not taking a snapshot of my device prior to installing a firewall application.

I restored the files from my time machine however now get the following error when launching the OS

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows XP Laptop.

Could not open the medium '.../VirtualBox VMs/Windows XP Laptop/Snapshots/{3452ef3c-e420-4d23-9e84-44373271c00e}.vmdk'.

VD: error VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND opening image file '.../VirtualBox VMs/Windows XP Laptop/Snapshots/{3452ef3c-e420-4d23-9e84-44373271c00e}.vmdk' (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Medium
Interface: IMedium {29989373-b111-4654-8493-2e1176cba890}

I restored the following two files from time machine:

*.vbox
*.vbox-prev
*.vmdk

What do you want us to tell you? The error message seems already quite clear to me. Restore the correct version of the missing file and all should be well.
