Hello,

I've been trying all day to get more than one instances of virtualbox
to run on the same immutable drive.

First, I managed to get the drive to be immutable by cloning the disk
and registering the new one as immutable


VBoxManage clonevdi Windowsxp.vdi Windowsxp2.vdi
VBoxManage registerimage disk Windowsxp2.vdi -type immutable

I did this because I had problems doing it the other way, as I posted
here http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=94&highlight=

Now, when I look at the settings my and change the primary master, sure
enough, it says it is 'immutable'.

However, when I try to start two virtual machines using this same
immutable vdi image, I get an error and it does not work.

In the 1.4 release notes it says:
IDE: fixed problem that only one VM could open an immutable image

This is the version I'm running.

But when I try to open more than one it gives me the warning "One or 
more of the registered virtual hard disks is not currently 
accessible..." and when I try to start the vm it says

"VM cannot start because the hard disk
'/home/user/.VirtualBox/VDI/Windowsxp2.vdi' is not
accessible (Acutal UUID
{62d885a4-1963-4aca-6990-913036ac751d} of the hard disk
image '/home/user/.VirtualBox/VDI/Windowsxp2.vdi' doesn't
match UUID {a818aeca-b06f-41b6-80bd-6743c35c79e} stored
in the registry)."

I have a 64 bit Ubuntu Linux host (installation from apt-get) and a 
Windowsxp guest.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.
