When I open up virtual box I get a warning that one or more of my storage files is inaccessible. When I click on 'Check' and 'Modify' I see the default option of 'Normal' but when that radio item is selected the 'OK' button is disable and only enabled when I select the other options for the storage. Should I modify the storage option in this manner? What are my options to get the storage accessible again? Thank you.

I don't see why you think that "inaccessible" is an attribute. It means that the file isn't there.

I looked on the file system and it is there. Plus, the other options when I am on the 'edit' mode seem to find it.

Did you rename the .vdi file? Did you at least look in the VirtualBox Media Manager as it says and see what's missing?

When I go to edit the storage it gives me the exact path to the file. But it won't let me 'OK' it as 'Normal'. I have looked at the path and the file does exist.

You didn't answer either of my questions. And there is no reason to change it's attributes.

I didn't rename the file. I am not sure what Virtual Box Media Manager is. I am just following the prompts. After I get the warning I can select 'OK' or 'Check'. 'Ok' just dismisses the warning. 'Check' brings up the dialog that I showed a screen shot of at the beginning of the thread (modify).

With VirtualBox open, select VirtualBox Media Manager under the File menu or press Ctrl+D. If there are any Hard Disks or Optical Disks with a red icon, delete them.

Under the Optical Disk tab I did see a yellow warning icon and I remove that so I don't get the warning any more. Thank you.

I still am not able to start the VM. I have attached a screen shot of the error that I get. Ideas? Or is this a different problem?

Totally different error.
