I recently got this error when I want to start my XP SP3 virtual machine in Ubuntu 11.04. I checked and it did not come after an upgrade (because it last upgraded on July 31st and I got the error about two week ago, but now need to use XP) and no settings was changed recently. I tried upgrading from version 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 and to clone the virtual machine to fix the problem, but it did not work.
Further you will need a hard-disk-enclosure with a USB2-connector, for the damaged disk-drive. Swap the hard-drives (the damaged hard-drive needs to be installed in to the external hard-drive-enclosure & the new hard-drive in your note-book-computer). The bootable ISO disc was automatically created by Acronis bootable media builder (the computer had the latest WAIK 2.0 installed). I've noticed something interesting. The original disk had an offset of 31.5 KiB (32256 bytes). The second disk, after the clone operation, had an offset of 1024 KiB (1048576 bytes).
I also read the old bugs about this error, but they all seemed to be related to a version upgrade that took place.
