The convertfromraw command in VirtualBox can't convert from VMDK files. As its name says, it only converts from "raw" image files (i.e. ones which aren't in any special format yet).

(Sector boundary isn't the problem; this error message shows up because convertfromraw just doesn't understand the input image format and thinks the virtual disk is smaller than it's supposed to be.)

VirtualBox should actually be able to use VMDK images directly – it doesn't require VDI.

Use the qemu-img command from QEMU to convert between VMDK and VDI (and other formats):
