Error: failed to clone hard disk. Error message: Could not create the clone hard disk '/z01/vm/vmCaburgua/vmClone.vmdk' (VERR_OUT_OF_RANGE)

Tried on Windows XP host and the same failure happened (same message).

I'll try without the 'Split2G'.

Without 'Split2G' it works fine. Tried to startup the machine and worked too.

Thanks for the report. Split2g is currently not implemented.

[Joe]

There should be an error message about the split2g options rather than a general failure - raised a bug here: ​http://www.virtualbox.de/ticket/4628

[Klaus Espenlaub]

Split2G is implemented for a while now, but had bugs. As mentioned in #4628 this has been fixed recently.
