Description

Hi, taking a snapshot of a running machine fails.

Taking a snapshot Guest is running:

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage snapshot WindowsXP take mySnapshot 0%... Progress state: E_FAIL VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to take snapshot VBoxManage.exe: error: Code E_FAIL (0x80004005) - Unspecified error (extended info not available) VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "int cdecl handleSnapshot(struct HandlerArg *)" at line 354 of file VBoxManageSnapshot .cpp

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>

guest is off:

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage snapshot WindowsXP take mySnapshot 0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>

Deleting snapshot: guest is running or guest is off:

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage snapshot WindowsXP delete mySnapshot 0%... Progress state: E_FAIL VBoxManage.exe: error: Snapshot operation failed VBoxManage.exe: error: Hard disk 'D:\VirtualBox\WindowsXP\Snapshots/{7d0c09c7-a249-4c8e-a7b7-42176220bb92}.vdi' has more

than one child hard disk (3)

VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component SessionMachine, interface IMachine VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "int cdecl handleSnapshot(struct HandlerArg *)" at line 421 of file VBoxManageSnapshot .cpp

And then the snapshot is not deleteable.

I hope, all drivers etc. are up to date with version 4.2.0.

qq1234, please use the --pause parameter with VBoxManage. Without that parameter, a live snapshot is taken which is currently broken.
