This resulted in an ""inaccessible"" VM, with *no* error message to guide me to the problem/fix. I was managing the VM via the GUI. Here is the offending config snippet: {{{ }}} This corresponds to the vbox guest additions DVD image: {{{ }}} I'm not completely sure what I did to get in this situation, and don't have time to reproduce it, but here's what I think was the sequence. 1. Removed IDE and floppy controller, and started XP VM (with just the sata controller/vdi).[[BR]] 2. Shut down VM.[[BR]] 3. Added IDE controller, with the ""Host Drive"" first, and the vbox guest additions image second. Also added floppy controller with a floppy image.[[BR]] 4. Started VM and clicked ""install guest additions"" via the menu.[[BR]] 5. Shut down VM.[[BR]] 6. Shut down/restarted GUI?[[BR]] 7. GUI showed the inaccessible VM, with no error in the error box.[[BR]] Removing both duplicate attached devices from the XML config yielded an accessible VM, and I was back in business.
