Virtual Hard Disk Read Only Problem

Source: microsoft.public.virtualserver

Message:

After I copy one Virtual Hard Disk (.vhd) from one machine to other machine I
get this error message when I try to start the virtual machine: "The virtual
hard disk "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Shared Virtual Machines\GesFin Full -
ES\GesFin Full - ES.vhd" attached to primary channel (1) of "GesFin Full -
ES" could not opened with read-write access. You need read-write access to
the virtual hard disk to boot a virtual machine. Another virtual machine or
the Virtual Disk Manager might be using this disk right now."

I already try to copy the .vhd permission from one virtual hard disk that
works to this with problem without sucess. Any idea how can I fix that?

Don't put the VHD file in that location!
Windows will put restrictions on what a service can do to a file if it
is located there.
Instead create a new directory C:\VirtualServer and store your virtual
machine files in subfolders to this folder.

Edit the absolute and relative path to the .vhd to reflect the correct location and filename.
