Extract content of (corrupted?) .ova file
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have VirtualBox on my laptop and a .ova file which is a Ubuntu VM (Ubuntu 18.04) from another laptop. I want to import this .ova file into VirtualBox but I get the following error:
Could not find an open hard disk with UUID {2ae7245a-5e19-4fc9-a7ad-
3f49bb1f6ea2}.
Result Code:
VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80BB0001)
Component:
VirtualBoxWrap
Interface:
IVirtualBox {9570b9d5-f1a1-448a-10c5-e12f5285adad}
I have looked around and it seems this is a fairly common issue althought my error (0x80BB0001) is not often mentioned, it's a different number. I guess my questions are:
- Is there an easy solution to this problem?
- Is it possible that my .ova file is somehow corrupted? Not sure how to tell
- Is there a way that I can somehow extract the files from the .ova file? What I really want, more than anything, are specific files on the VM, I don't really care about the rest, i.e. I don't care about setting up a VM. All I want are the files.
I know that 7zip can be used to convert the .ova file to a .ovf but after that I'm stuck, I don't know how to extract the files from the .ovf file.
Thanks.

How does .ova works? You've got a VM, go into VirtualBox and say 'File - Export appliance'. From multiple files on the source system, VirtualBox will create one big blob ... Now you copying the new file to the destination (Does all related storage can handle the filesize?). You should check withmd5sumon source and destination ... The error says the hard drive mentioned in the .OVA is not in the file, so if it is lost, because of incomplete copying, you won't get it back with conversion.

How does .ova works? You've got a VM, go into VirtualBox and say 'File - Export appliance'. From multiple files on the source system, VirtualBox will create one big blob ... Now you copying the new file to the destination (Does all related storage can handle the filesize?). You should check withmd5sumon source and destination ... The error says the hard drive mentioned in the .OVA is not in the file, so if it is lost, because of incomplete copying, you won't get it back with conversion.
