This is not entirely correct. What needs to be provided is the same path that already exists in the configuration file. Usually it is the full path, but not necessarily… Just check what is there and use the same (changing your current folder if necessary).

if you have the character space in the path use character ‘

example:

VBoxManage clonevdi ‘/media/MASDATOS/Maquinas Virtuales/virtualBOX/WindowsXP2/DiscoWinxp2.vdi’ ‘/media/MASDATOS/Maquinas Virtuales/virtualBOX/WindowsXP2/DiscoWinxp3.vdi’

thanks a lot.

I experienced the problem because the folder where the ISO file was kept (which virtual box read from) was in read-only mode.

After i unchecked read only … worked like a charm
