Vmdk unexpectedly is removed from virtual machine

I have a Windows virtual machine mounted over a Fedora Linux, I have created a virtual hard disk where I am storing my operating system, also I have a vmdk file pointing to a physical partition where I am storing my personal files, I am working in my virtual machine, and virtualbox unexpectedly removes my vmdk file. So I have to shut down my virtual machine and start over again.

How can i solve this?

I'm sorry, but what does that mean? How is it "removed"? Gone from the Details pane? Are you sure you don't have any snapshots that you revert to?

I would like to see the "recipe" of the VM, the ".vbox" file:
  1. Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager. Select "Show in Finder/Explorer/Whatever".
  2. ZIP the selected ".vbox" file and attach it to your response.
