Error starting domain: Cannot access storage file

Hey folks, need your assistance. I install VMM, using my 2nd internal drive to store the iso and VM space. after the installation everything is fine, i can install the guess OS, the problem starts after I reboot. I get this error:

Error starting domain: Cannot access storage file ‘/media/sd/drive2/VMs/debian12.qcow2’ (as uid:1000, gid:137): No such file or directory

Traceback (most recent call last):

Don’t think has anything to do with Whonix.

You need to learn Linux, KVM.

Most likely the file isn’t accessible indeed. Check that first.
