When I try to start the VM I get an error message that says ""PIIX3 cannot attach drive to the Primary Master. VBox status code: -3203 (VERR_VDI_INVALID_TYPE).

Which is the real issue ? FWIW the VM was running as setup, and then there was a system reboot and it would no longer start. I have a copy of the VDI that I made prior to the crash and have replaced the VDI that was active at the crash and I receive the same error. I can't really see any problems with a hanging lock, but I'm not sure where I would find it. Thanks so much.",defect,closed,virtual disk,VirtualBox 2.0.6,fixed,,,other,Linux
