Virtualbox Failed to clone virtual machine Error
I am using the latest version of VirtualBox. I am currently using two computers : one a desktop running Windows vista and another a laptop running Win 7.
My original VM was on the desktop, and I successfully cloned, zipped and ported it to the laptop. Now i want to clone the VM on the laptop and put it on my desktop. When I try to do this an error occurs after 89% of the cloning is complete. The error code says : Code:
Failed to clone the virtual machine Dee. Thank you! |
The name of the forum is "Linux - Virtualization". Your question is about Windows - Virtualization. I'd take it to a Windows forum.

I am asking a question pertaining to the virtualization of a Linux machine on a Windows platform using a Virtualbox. The forum description itself states :
Xen, KVM, OpenVZ, VirtualBox, VMware, Linux-VServer and all other Linux Virtualization platforms are welcome. |

I don't recognize the error, I suppose you could try googling the code, although I've never had much luck trying that (Win error codes aren't especially helpful). |
"When I try to do this ", what exactly are you doing?
I just take the entire folder and copy it. As to failure, could it be that your data is too large for target file format? This may help, http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/itd...irtualbox/3305 |

I am trying to clone the VM on the laptop. Copying and pasting wouldn't work because my flashdrive is 16GB and says that the filesystem is too large(though the folder is just around 10GB) so that's why I'm cloning and then zipping. I've tried zipping without cloning and that also fails after around two thirds are done. So I think its something wrong with the files of the VM itself. |
