Can't create

I was very happy for about two months using Virtual Box but today I did something stupid and more stupid things that follow and now I am completely out of control of the situation.
Background information
-----------------------------
I am a Mac user but due to the nature of the work, I have to use Windows for some development work. I install Virtual Box (VB) and downloaded the VM for Windows 7. And because I am working on iMac at home and MacBook at work, so I decided to move the VM onto my external HDD. It works so gracefully for the last two months when I boot the Windows on both my iMac and Macbook using VB. I did not document how I manage to setup on the external HDD and I thought it is quite straight forward.
Today I made backup of the entire folder (ext. HDD> PM5>) to my iMac local HDD. After the backup was completed, I think I did some stupid thing like trying to rename the VM and I was also trying to move the VM from the local HDD of my Macbook to this external HDD (this is so I can access that VM from my iMac as well as from another PC). Then I began to experience error and more error.
Now, I am not able to start. The windows keep trying to repair and fail. I put back the original and it is still not working. Perhaps I really don't know how Virtual Box operates!
Kindly advise the necessary. Thank you.
