Had this pop-up today after I upgraded VirtualBox (and post kernel patch reboot which is more likely the culprit). I keep all my VM’s on a remote NAS and it seemed like path references had been modified slightly.
Some digging online didn’t really locate to much so I started poking around myself, solution ended up being:
- Using File > Virtual Media Manager – Delete reference to the failed hard drive located on your NAS.
- In the settings for your VM remove the failed disk
- Click on sata and the little ‘Add HDD’ icon to the right – you can now select your remote disk image
- Restart – all is well.
Hope that helps!
Thank you, you save me ! I was just to delete my vm, but with this helpful post I could save it …
Thank you very much for solution!
Thanks, worked flawlessly !
Yes, good solution. But I have to do this every time I start my VM!!? a bit annoying. I think that when you start VB, he does not find the virtual discs (in my case they are on another disc)(using Ubuntu 11.10). any idea?

Can’t say I had to do it more then once, nor has anyone else as far as I am aware, odd.
Thanks! Only one comment: if you have “shared folders” attached to the VM you need to remove them before running it. Thanks again!
Wonderful, thank you
Perfect! Thanks
This worked a treat – thanks for posting.
