Unable to clone

[HuaMin]

Hi,
When cloning the Windows 2008 server guest, I get this

Failed to clone the virtual machine WIN08ENTSS12VS12I.

Could not create the clone medium 'h:\VMs\WIN08ENTSS12VS12BCK8H\WIN08ENTSS12VS12BCK8H-disk1.vdi' (VERR_IO_CRC).

Result Code: VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)
Component: Medium
Interface: IMedium {29989373-b111-4654-8493-2e1176cba890}

Why?

Sounds like your drive has serious damage. (not the guests VDI)
I would run a disk check and a backup soon.

Thanks a lot. I did the fix in H drive, like

Code: Select all

C:\Users\HP>chkdsk h:/F

and then have got

Any help to this? Thanks

CRC error implies a serious problem with the drive, i.e. hard sector errors, not simple filesystem errors of the type you fix with "chkdsk /f". "chkdsk /r" should give the disk a more exhaustive check, but will of course take a lot longer.

Or perhaps you should consider cloning to a different drive.
