Re: how to make a copy of .VDI image?

Re: how to make a copy of .VDI image?

I came up against this problem, but instead of using the clone tool, I just do a standard copy of the image (.vdi) and then change the UUID:

F:\VirtualBox Images>"C:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands sethduuid HdImageName.vdi


This seems to work fine for me and is a little quicker than waiting for the whole thing to clone.

Hope that helps.
