In the directory D:\Win there should be a file called WinTester.vbox-prev. If this isn't 0 bytes in length or hasn't otherwise been corrupted then with all VirtualBox processes shut down, copy it to WinTester.vbox.

How did you copy this and what did you back it up to? If you backed it up to an external drive that is FAT32 formatted then it has probably been truncated and is now probably useless.
