I have converted the .tib image file to VMware workstation 5, 6 and 6.5 .vdmk diskimage versions.
All .vdmk image file versions work in Virtualbox.
I converted all three .vdmk files to .vdi files with VBoxManage and all three .vdi files don't work in Virtualbox.

I was just wondering.
If Virtualbox can use .vmdk files. Why can't I import them in Oracle VDI?
That would make it much easier and I would not have to figure out why the converstion to .vdi fails.
Is there a command line option to import .vdmk files instead of .vdi files?

Kind regards,

Ivar

I tried to repair the Windows system on a .vdi diskimage from a Windows CD-rom. I also tried to fix the mbr by booting from the CD-rom, choose repair, type FIXMBR and confirm.

Both actions did not seem to change anything.

I dont know concerning vdi but on physical windows this usually means the mbr was not found or doesnt exist.

Hope this helps in some way.

Just wondering if someone has experienced the same problem.

I have converted a Acronis' backup images (.tib) with VMware converter to a VMware workstation 6.5 .vmdk diskimage. I can run this .vmdk diskimage in Virtualbox. (with and without IO APIC configured)
I can convert the .vdmk diskimage to a .vdi diskimage with:
$ VBoxManage clonehd xx.vmdk xx.vdi --format VDI
No error messages are reported during the conversion.

But when I use this xx.vdi file as a harddisk, Windows does not boot.
I get a black rectangular screen with a white cursor stripe in the left top corner.
I have no idea what goes wrong here.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Kind regards,

Ivar
