Failed to open disk file image Result Code: VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (...) Callee RC: VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (...)

Question

Because of some internal errors, the vdi file got corrupted, because of which, the header of the vdi file has become invalid.

Virtual box is not allowing to attach VDI even to another newly created machine. I am getting following error :-
