Re: 4 Virtual disks but in Machine apears only one. Help me?
Well, a .rar isn't a .zip, but I have 7zip, so I could open the rar.
Regrettably, the folder therein is the .Virtualbox folder, not the guest's folder, and does not contain the guest's .vbox file. In fact it contains no .vbox files. .vbox is the extension we need, and we need the .vbox file for the guest.
Nice effort, try again.

You have a windows 7 host, if your second post is correct. Follow the instructions I gave you and you won't need WinZip to make a .zip.

Re: 4 Virtual disks but in Machine apears only one. Help me?
One more time. See the little period before the vbox in ".vbox"? .vbox is the extension of the file, not the name of the file. The files you just rar'ed are .log files. And you're still not following my instructions on how to make a zip.
A guest's .vbox file is named after the guest. I have a guest named "XPtest" My guest's .vbox file will be called "XPtest.vbox" The file you are looking for is named "{yourguestname}.vbox" Replace {yourguestname} with the name of your guest, add ".vbox" to the name and search for that file.

Re: 4 Virtual disks but in Machine apears only one. Help me?
Very close. I think I see the problem. Your Windows host may be set to hide known extensions by default. So you should see a file that is named just "Windows 7" with a blue cube for an icon. If you set the folder view to Details, the blue-cube "Windows 7" file will show "Virtualbox Machine Definition" in the "Type" column. If you see that file, right-click it and choose "Send To", then "Compressed (zipped) folder". A .zip file named "Windows 7.zip" will appear. Attach "Windows 7.zip" to your post with "Upload Attachment".

That's fine, you found it! The blue-cube file is the correct one. I'm looking through it now, just a minute...

Re: 4 Virtual disks but in Machine apears only one. Help me?
OK, here is the section in the .vbox file that tells the guest what disks it has connected to it:
You have the original disk "Windows 7.vmdk" and two extra disks "Windows 7 Virtual Ram 001.vmdk" and "Windows 7 Virtual Ram 002.vmdk". So right now you have added two new disks to your guest. It isn't four, but they are there, ready to use.
You will need to open "Disk Management" in the guest and initialize the two new disks. Google for how to do that.
You should also turn on all file extensions in Windows. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... =windows-7 to do that, though it looks like you did already. Good!
Code: Select all
<HardDisks>
<HardDisk uuid="{1ec45c80-c32f-46ba-bee9-10c6c8f4a3c7}" location="Windows 7.vmdk" format="VMDK" type="Normal"/>
<HardDisk uuid="{f3dbc9a4-8ed0-4b93-877e-fde87c054a30}" location="Windows 7 Virtual Ram 001.vmdk" format="VMDK" type="Normal"/>
<HardDisk uuid="{cd8bb309-f708-48a0-8f8d-482a36840275}" location="Windows 7 Virtual Ram 002.vmdk" format="VMDK" type="Normal"/>

Re: 4 Virtual disks but in Machine apears only one. Help me?
We have confirmed that you have two extra disks in the guest. Showing how to use these disks in the guest OS is beyond the scope of the Virtualbox forum. You should search the internet for how to open and use Disk Management in Windows.
