Problems creating new VM

[ciamurra]

Macbook Pro, OS X 10.8.4 and VirtualBox 4.2.16 and WindowsXP SP2.

The latest problem is the following:

Failed to create the hard disk storage /Users/dianedvacca/VirtualBox VMs/WindowsXP/WindowsXP.vdi.

Cannot register the hard disk '/Users/dianedvacca/VirtualBox VMs/WindowsXP/WindowsXP.vdi' {eb207370-d51a-43a9-aa9e-53946662ce96} because a hard disk '/Users/dianedvacca/VirtualBox VMs/WindowsXP/WindowsXP.vdi' with UUID {84099327-d2b6-48bd-b1b9-bb84cb0010a4} already exists.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)
Component: VirtualBox
Interface: IVirtualBox {3b2f08eb-b810-4715-bee0-bb06b9880ad2}

Before creating a new VM, I try to delete the useless one and its traces, including what's left in Library.

If you already removed the file before, shutdown Virtualbox completely for 30 sec, waiting for a background process to finish. Then try again.
