Warning: One or more disk image files are not currently accessible












20















I have set up Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on VirtualBox.



Everything seems to work ok so far, but every time I launch VirtualBox I get this pop-up with a warning message.



enter image description here



I believe this warning started to appear when I changed the number of processor cores of the VM in Settings.



Is this a big issue and if so how can I fix this ?



This is what I see when I click the check button

  • You also may still have an old VDI file attached that does no longer exist. Check with the "Virtual Media Manager".

  • @Takkat not sure if I understand you, but do you mean this warning occures because virtual box can't find the path to the .iso file ??

  • @Lykos: may well be... remove that ISO from media manager and see if the error went away.

I had the same issue and was confused until I looked more closely and realized it was looking for the iso I originally placed on my desktop, which I had since thrown in the trash. It appears your message is telling you the same thing.



After successfully installing the ubuntu VM(/Users/user/VirturalBox VMs on mac), I discarded the ISO, but the drive is still mounted, causing the error, or warning.



I was able to select the iso listed in the dialog and press remove, and upon restart of VirtualBox, the issue was resolved.
