VDI already exists
Posted: 31. Jul 2015, 10:40
I was going to create a new VM, but while creating the VDI file it gives me this error:
I assure you, Neither the vdi file nor the directory existed before starting the VM creation wizard. After dismissing this error, there is a 2MB vdi in the right spot, so it did create something, but then also errored that it "already exists"? How can that happen?
This is VirtualBox 5.0.0 on Windows 7 x64.
/edit If I give it another filename, it works fine. Is there something intrinsically wrong with the filename "Windows 10.vdi"?
Code: Select all
