id summary reporter owner description type status component version resolution keywords cc guest host 9108 Machine in sabed state refuses to start with shared drive missing RenHoek "I have a Win7 guest running on a Win7 host. The guest is in a saved state. One of the drives on the host system was dropped but it turned out to be exported as a shared folder to the guest. Problem: I try to start the saved state VM but it breaks off with an error that a shared folder is missing, if I would be so kind to remove it in the settings. However you cannot change the settings on a saved state VM image. (i.e. the 'Settings' option is grayed out) Expected behaviour: Instead of an error, I expect a popup to either ignore the condition, or remove the shared folder for me and then actually start the saved state VM. Workaround: Since drive E: was missing, a simple ""subst e: c:\"" in a dos box solved the problem. I could start the saved state VM and then remove the shared folder. To recreate the problem: Set up a host and set a drive as a shared folder. Now exit the VM with 'Save state'. Remove the drive from the host and try to start up the VM again. This can be done easiest with 'subst'." defect closed shared folders VirtualBox 4.0.8 fixed Windows Windows
