Guest: Ubuntu
Guest VM Name: WordpressThemeDevBox
Host: Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate
VirtualBox Version: 4.1.2 r73507

I shut off my guest and removed the Current State snapshot using the Restore Snapshot button.

After the process completed I returned to the Oracle VirtualBox Manager and the following error was displayed in the right hand panel:

The selected virtual machine is inaccessible. Please inspect the error message shown below and press the Refresh button if you want to repeat the accessibility check:

Could not find an open hard disk with UUID {73231db-6014-4c49-b092-eac75c33f31d}
Result Code: VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80BB0001)
Compoent: VirtualBox
Interface: IVirtualBox {c28be65f-1a8f-43b4-81f1-eb60cb516e66}



I checked in %USERPROFILE%\.VirtualBox\Machines\WordpressThemeDevBox\Snapshots\ and the vdi file {73231db-6014-4c49-b092-eac75c33f31d}.vdi is present in that directory.

I also found this thread over at the VirtualBox forums, but it's refering to version 4.0.4 and they keep talking about a .vbox file which I can't find in my 4.1.2 installation.

Additionally I found a bug pertaining to version 4.0.4 that appears similar to what I am experiencing.

Is there any way of fixing this using VBoxManage or editing one of the xml files like VirtualBox.xml or WordpressThemeDevBox.xml?

Additionally here is more information via paste-bin:

Okay figured this out. While I never did find out which vdi file I was using from the XML files, I did eventually find the correct vdi file. I used VBoxManage to clone the base vdi file, discarding the snapshots, and created a new vm.
