VBoxManage creates corrupted VHD with fixed size => fixed in SVN/5.1.x

[schrotti12]

The following command is used to create a VHD Images for hosts:

VBoxManage createmedium disk --filename "%USERPROFILE%\MyVdisks\disk1.vhd" --size 8192 --format vhd --variant fixed

The VHD file is corrupted as shown in the following diskpart output:

C:\Windows\system32>diskpart
Microsoft DiskPart version 10.0.10586
Copyright (C) 1999-2013 Microsoft Corporation.
On computer: S10
DISKPART> select vdisk file="C:\<actual path to vdisk>\disk1.vhd"
DiskPart has encountered an error: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
See the System Event Log for more information.
There is no virtual disk selected.

Also if it is included into VirtualBox via GUI there are errors:

Could not get the storage format of the medium 'C:\<path to vdisks>\disk1.vhd' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).
Result Code:
VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)

If added via command line the VirtualBox Manager shows disk as dynamicaly resizeable instead of fixed size. Screenshots can be added if required.
