This is a 'from past experiences guess' here. Not dangerous and damages nothing. Rename/MV the .Virtualbax file to 'something' memorable. This is the VDI config file. I *think* that your install has a confusion with the ID of the VDI and what the VDI ID actually is. This .Virtualbox file will be recreated when you start the VBox GUI (which should show nothing and then you chose to make a new entry. Do the config and select 'existing HD' and point to the VD (Win7.dvi?) that you want to use. That *should* fix this. :-) There is one more major possibility. Which will depend on the success or failure of this and what your answer to this next as yet not needed question. I await your success reply Patrick. -- David -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
