This is a fresh install of everything on my machine, the issue is the following, I install everything and run vagrant up the first time, it works, I can go into ssh and everything, I exit out of ssh and run vagrant halt, now immediately I try vagrant up again and get these errors.

What is happening, why is it failing and how can I fix it?

I'll leave this open since I'm not sure what the actual problem is but after many attempts I have it working. I tried destroying the box and remaking it at least 5 times without any improvement, I uninstalled VirtualBox and tried again, but no luck. After I uninstalled Vagrant and VirtualBox and deleted the folders .vagrant.d and .VirtualBox I reinstalled Vagrant and VirtualBox and this time it worked.

I believe I was getting this error a couple months ago and I managed to solve it using this comment as a guide, that didn't work this time.

Edit: This failed again with the same error, I'm at a complete loss as to what to do, nothing I've tried has worked and I can't find much online.

It always works the first time, when I run the first vagrant up the box gets created correctly but after doing vagrant halt and vagrant up again it fails. I don't even know what to try at this point.

I checked my environment variables, I removed the other disk from my computer, I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it, tried --provision, reload, and nothing helps at all. Please. I'm desperate.
