sql server - Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier - Two GUIDs

Question

I don't understand why I can't insert this. I can't spot the problem. The error message is Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.

The GUIDs are the ones that I got when I did a select from some other tables.

insert into [db].[dbo].[table] (myid,friendid,time1,time2) values
 ( CONVERT(uniqueidentifier,'0C6A36BA-10E4-438F-BA86-0D5B68A2BB15'),
   CONVERT(uniqueidentifier,'DF215E10-8BD4-4401-B2DC-99BB03135F2E'),
'2014-01-05 02:04:41.953','2014-01-05 12:04:41.953')

I use SQL Server 2012

The columns are

id        uniqueidentifier,
myid      uniqueidentifier,
friendid  uniqueidentifier,
time1     datetime nullable,
time2     datetime nullable

Answer 1

The problem was that the ID column wasn't getting any value. I saw on @Martin Smith SQL Fiddle that he declared the ID column with DEFAULT newid and I didn't..
