I'm trying to load an existing VMWare virtual machine disk file into VirtualBox
on OS X 10.5.6. The file exists within a VMWare folder:
> ll /Users/me/Documents/Virtual\
> Machines.localized/WindowsXPPro.vmwarevm/WindowsXPPro.vmdk
-rw-------@ 1 me me 17557749760 Dec 24 10:33 /Users/me/Documents/Virtual
Machines.localized/WindowsXPPro.vmwarevm/WindowsXPPro.vmdk
>From within VirtualBox's Virtual Media Manager's "Add an existing medium"
>function, I can browse to the containing folder, but I can't get into the
>folder to see the disk file, and the load fails:
Could not open the hard disk '/Users/jd/Documents/Virtual
Machines.localized/WindowsXPPro.vmwarevm'.
VD: error opening image file '/Users/jd/Documents/Virtual
Machines.localized/WindowsXPPro.vmwarevm' (VERR_IS_A_DIRECTORY).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
HardDisk2
Interface:
IHardDisk2 {ed6e2525-c2fd-42a4-917a-7a9045ac9e15}
Callee:
IVirtualBox {339abca2-f47a-4302-87f5-7bc324e6bbde}
How do I browse to the disk image file from within the VIrtualBox interface?
Is it necessary to copy or move the file from its existing location? If so, I
may not be willing, as I prefer to test VirtualBox's support for the image
before making it unavailable/unusable to VMWare.
Thanks,
~John
