2813	clonehd/clonevdi creating corrupted clones of VDI image => Fixed in SVN	Thalic		Cloning a dynamic VDI file using clonehd/clonevdi results in corrupt clone.\r\nThe cloned VDI file is smaller than the original VDI file. Cloned Windows guest failed to boot. clonehd/clonedvi did not report any errors during cloning.\r\n\r\n----\r\n\r\nOriginal VDI file was about 1.5GB, cloned file about 1.4GB. Trying to boot cloned guest resulted in following error message:\r\n{{{\r\nA disk read error occurred\r\nPress Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart\r\n}}}\r\n\r\n\r\nAfter booting original VDI, it grew a bit to 1.6GB, clone created from this file was about 1.5GB. Trying to boot cloned guest resulted in following error message:\r\n\r\n{{{\r\nWindows could not start because the following file is missing\r\nor corrupt:\r\n<Windows root>\\system32\\hal.dll\r\nPlease re-install a copy of the above file. \r\n}}}\r\n\r\nCloning the original VDI into a VDMK image did not cause any of the aforementioned problems.\r\n\r\nOther forum user mentioned same problem and downgraded to 2.0.6 for testing and reported that problem is not present in 2.0.6.\r\n\r\nHost: Windows XP SP3[[BR]]\r\nGuest: Windows XP SP2 (right after installation, no updates installed)[[BR]]\r\nOriginal VDI image created on VirtualBox 2.1.0[[BR]]\r\n[[BR]]\r\nForum thread: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=50519\r\n	defect	closed	major	virtual disk	VirtualBox 2.1.0	fixed	clonehd clonevdi corrupt image		Windows	Windows
