Hello! My problem is very similar to this unanswered post: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtualbox.user/870
I've been trying three times to convert a HDD-image to vdi with VBoxManage - the command quit without error message prematurely(After having written 18GB resp. 85GB of the 250GB image). I've created an image with dd from my laptop harddrive and eventually tried to convert it to vdi. After it quit twice leaving me with 18GB vdi-Images, i assumed there might be something wrong with the raw-image, so i cloned the whole harddrive a second time and tried again(Which of course takes a few hours). This time, the tool stopped after having written 85GB. All the vdi-images did not boot - i got the Windows XP boot manager, but after that, the screen stayed black with only a steady cursor/underscore in the upper left corner. Curiously, the whole process worked absolutely fine with a Windows 7 installation on my private laptop which i did last weekend for testing purposes. I think that maybe the raw images are corrupted and i run "badblocks" on the external harddrives i'm using right now to make sure it's not the hardware. Can someone verify this assumption? On the other hand, i would assume that VBoxManage would complain if it finds corrupted data and not just quit as if everything went fine... I appreciate pointers to where the source(s) of the problem could lie!
