Hi,

Have downloaded the VirtualBox image from //www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-arm-image-download/
Have installed VirtualBox.

The extracted VirtualBox images are as follows:

Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64-s001.vmdk
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64-s002.vmdk
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64-s003.vmdk
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64-s004.vmdk
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64-s005.vmdk
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64-s006.vmdk
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64-s007.vmdk
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64-s008.vmdk
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64.nvram
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64.vmdk
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64.vmsd
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64.vmx
Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64.vmxf


How do I load this into VirtualBox now?
Which VMDK file do I load and why are there so many different ones?

Thank you
PB

You downloaded VMware image, not Virtualbox.

If you wish, you can try and import it (then re-install VBox Guest Tools).
Else, download Vbox pre-made image (same URL as before - just a different link).
Or, you can install it yourself from a ISO (which you would need to download) - see docs.kali.org on how to make it.
