Enoying problem with export guest

[escw0rm]

Hello everyone.

I have a .vmdk and exportet it to my backupserver. And I powered it on, on my client machine just to see if it works. And yes it did work.

Today when I needed it, it didn't start. It tells me that the virtual machine is not found. (VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80BB000)

Code: Select all

Result Code: 
NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)
Component: 
VirtualBox
Interface: 
IVirtualBox {3b2f08eb-b810-4715-bee0-bb06b9880ad2}
Callee RC: 
VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80BB0001)

I know I need some sort of config file or something... Is there any template so I can fix the machine? or how do expert solve this problem?

? That's a confusing post.

A VMDK is a data file, not an executable. A VMDK is not even a VM, it's just a disk image. You need to install VirtualBox properly on any machine (and user account) that needs to run VMs, also see the "Howto" area for instructions in how to move a VM.

Weird that I could start it then, in virtualbox.

I can't comment on that without a detailed description enabling me to repeat what you did.
