Description

Hi All,

It's a long story - But below is the error:

Converting from raw image file="Camd64OS-20150120010101.img" to file="Camd64OS-2 0150120010101"... Creating dynamic image with size 2589949952 bytes (2470MB)... ERROR: VDI: cannot create image 'Camd64OS-20150120010101' Error code VERR_ACCESS_DENIED at D:\tinderbox\win-3.1\src\VBox\Devices\Storage\V DIHDDCore.cpp(570) in function vdiCreateImage Error while creating the disk image "Camd64OS-20150120010101": VERR_ACCESS_DENIE D

How to I get access?

Thanks in advance, aytch aytch

It's no fun to have to guess what command you used, and it's even less fun to do this for version 3.1.8.

Either way, your user most likely doesn't have the necessary rights to write to the directory where the VDI file should be created. It should be no problem that you left out the file extension (but it will not be added automatically!).
