When I am trying to create a Virtual Hard Disk for my Ubuntu 18.04 Virtual Machine I am getting this error...


Could not create the medium storage unit '/home/mir/VirtualBox VMs/Linux/Ubuntu/Ubuntu.vdi'.



VD: The given disk size 13529146982 is not aligned on a sector boundary (512 bytes) (VERR_VD_INVALID_SIZE).



Result Code: 

VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)

Component: 

MediumWrap

Interface: 

IMedium {4afe423b-43e0-e9d0-82e8-ceb307940dda}

I am giving 12.60 GB of space for the virtual Hard Disk as you can see in the image below

What is the problem? It is not a disk space problem for sure, because once I installed it in 10 GB of space and it was working completely fine.

12.60 GB is 13,529,146,982 bytes, so it is not a multiple of 512 bytes


Disk capacity must be a multiple of 512 bytes
You can use a capacity that is a multiple of 512 bytes, such as 12GB or 12.5GB
The reason is that 512 bytes of a hard disk are 1 sector, so the number of sectors must be a natural number
