vboxmanage convertdd says VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER

[ddeath]

Hi there, I tried to convert bin file to vdi vie vboxmanage but it ends with error:

vboxmanage convertdd ./linux.bin 5460 --format VDI 
Converting from raw image file="./linux.bin" to file="5460"...
Creating dynamic image with size 929810 bytes (1MB)...
VBoxManage: error: Cannot create the disk image "5460": VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER

version of vboxmanage: 4.3.12r93733

I tried to convert compiled linux firmware from router AirLive WL5460: ​http://fs.airlive.com/GPL_Code/GPL_WL-5460AP.zip

It may be related to the https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3012

I tried similar command:

vboxmanage showhdinfo linux.bin 
VBoxManage: error: Could not get the storage format of the medium '/home/ddeath/Downloads/GPL_WL-5460AP/linux.bin' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005), component Medium, interface IMedium, callee nsISupports
VBoxManage: error: Context: "OpenMedium(Bstr(pszFilenameOrUuid).raw(), enmDevType, enmAccessMode, fForceNewUuidOnOpen, pMedium.asOutParam())" at line 178 of file VBoxManageDisk.cpp

It is possible that it do not recognize the format?

The reason for this error message is that the linux.bin image is too small (less than 1MB). But the real problem is that you are trying to convert a file which does not contain disk image data to a virtual disk. linux.bin is not a raw disk image. There is no partition table.
