i'm running VirtualBox on Ubuntu hardy (server). The guest is Win2k3 Server.
Everything was fine until i've had to restart the machine during some updates. Unfortenatly i forgot to shut down the VM first.
After rebooting i tried to restart the VM, but i've just got the message, that the hdd is not accessible.
I've searched the forum an found some people with the same problem, but no solution.
Here's what i got when i try some of the stuff they admit in the other threads i've found:

After using VBoxManage registervm /home/witt/.VirtualBox/Machines/w2k3/w2k3.xml it was recognized. btw: The machine was listed all the time in the VBox-GUI.
Unfortenatly this was the one and only time this command works, now just the following message appears, which sounds really bad. ;)
