I even imported the same vdi under VirtualBox 3.1.6 and then tried to use VBoxManage clonehd again to see if I can get rid of the error but that did not work either. I kept getting the error: Parent medium with UUID of the medium This is a self contained file and there is no linkage to another VDI. As we finished this article, see you in the next article where we gonna talk about the initial configuration and installation of Windows 10.None of the solutions above worked for me because I was trying to import a VDI file created under VirtualBox 3.1.6 into VirtualBox 4.32 running on a different machine. In order to install the operating system and configure the virtual machine, we would need to start the virtual machine. You have successfully created your first virtual machine in the Oracle VM VirtualBox.Īs you can see, the newly created virtual machine is powered off. We will keep the default virtual disk size which is 50 GB and then click Create.

As you can see there are two storage types including dynamically allocated and fixed size. Under Storage on physical hard disk select Fixed size and then click Next.VDI is used by Oracle VirtualBox, VHD is used by Hyper-V and CMDK is used by VMware. As you can see there are three different hard disk types including VDI, VHD, and VMDK. Under Hard disk file type choose VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image) and then click Next.As we do not have a virtual disk, we will create a new one. In this window, you will be also able to use an existing virtual hard disk or skip creating a new hard disk. Under Hard disk select Create a virtual hard disk now and then click Create.In case you are not able to assign 8 GB due to your host´s resources, please assign the 4 GB. In our case, we will assign 8 GB of RAM memory. Under Memory size select the amount of memory (RAM) that will be allocated to the virtual machine and then click Next.If it is not changed, please do it by yourself. The type and version of the operating system will automatically change based on your descriptive name. In our case the name of the virtual machine is Windows 10 Pro, we will keep the default location.

The name you choose will be used throughout VirtualBox to identify this machine. Under Name and operation system choose a descriptive name and destination folder for the new virtual machine and select the type of operating system you intend to install on it and then click Next.At the top of the window, click on the New in order to create a new virtual machine.
