machine inaccessible after crash - recurring problem...

[hotani]

Every time virtualbox 2.0 on linux craps out, the virtual machine comes back listed as "inaccessible." The options are: "Delete" or "Refresh." Refresh of course does nothing.

The error (this time) is:

Code: Select all

Hard disk '/home/hotani/.VirtualBox/VDI/WinXP.vdi' with UUID {0e28179a-420f-46b8-d4ab-78ae4d3705b7} is already attached to a machine with UUID {579ef0e2-0513-4fd9-c695-eec2bf6dea71} (see '/home/hotani/.VirtualBox/Machines/WinXP/WinXP.xml').

Result Code: NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)
Component: VirtualBox
Interface: IVirtualBox {557a07bc-e6ae-4520-a361-4a8493199137}


The last time this happened, I backed up the xml file in ~/.VirtualBox/Machines/WinXP/ but restoring that made no difference this time.
