    VirtualBox VMS - Missing file vmxp.vbox


    Installed VirtualBox with XP and Office 03 and used it several times
    Then, yesterday it failed to allow me to copy / paste from my other (Windows7 Office 10) environment.

    Today it simply fails with the message
    Runtime error opening c:\Users\Henry\VirtualBox VMs\vmxp\vmxp.vbox for reading: 102 (File not found)
    I still have the downloaded file "VirtualBox-4.1.8-75467-Win.exe"
    Would very much like to avoid reinstalling VirtualBox, XP and Office03

    Is there possibly a way to get it from another source (BTW: it is not in my Recycle Bin)

    Advice appreciated

    The .vbox file is a XML based description of the Virtual Machine you are running. You can re-create the .vbox file by creating a new VM machine within Virtual Box and then attaching an existing vm disk (.vdi) to it and you will get it back again in working order.

Greetings: I have virtualbox with a few VMs. (Naturally host win7 ultimate) I want to back them up in my flash, could I just zip vdi files and simply copy and paste the vdi file in my flash? e.g ubuntu 14.5 GB turns into 4.7GB as zip file. Thanks a head KianWilliam
