I cd to the directory with the VDI file, and then: VBoxManage clonehd Windows_7_64bit.vdi Windows7_Clone.vdi The command reports: VBoxManage: error: Cannot register the hard disk '/usr/home/redhotmomma/sdb/VirtualBox VMs/Windows_7_64bit/Windows_7_64bit.vdi' {83b50fa1-90ab-404d-bb6f-1a198017d05b} because a hard disk '/home/redhotmomma/sdb/VirtualBox VMs/Windows_7_64bit/Windows_7_64bit.vdi' with UUID {83b50fa1-90ab-404d-bb6f-1a198017d05b} already exists VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057), component VirtualBox, interface IVirtualBox, callee nsISupports Context: "OpenMedium(Bstr(pszFilenameOrUuid).raw(), enmDevType, AccessMode_ReadWrite, fForceNewUuidOnOpen, pMedium.asOutParam())" at line 210 of file VBoxManageDisk.cpp sdb@gigawattmomma$ VBoxManage clonehd Windows_7_64bit.vdi Windows7_Clone.vdi VBoxManage: error: Cannot register the hard disk '/usr/home/redhotmomma/sdb/VirtualBox VMs/Windows_7_64bit/Windows_7_64bit.vdi' {83b50fa1-90ab-404d-bb6f-1a198017d05b} because a hard disk '/home/redhotmomma/sdb/VirtualBox VMs/Windows_7_64bit/Windows_7_64bit.vdi' with UUID {83b50fa1-90ab-404d-bb6f-1a198017d05b} already exists VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057), component VirtualBox, interface IVirtualBox, callee nsISupports Context: "OpenMedium(Bstr(pszFilenameOrUuid).raw(), enmDevType, AccessMode_ReadWrite, fForceNewUuidOnOpen, pMedium.asOutParam())" at line 210 of file VBoxManageDisk.cpp Which is odd, because I thought conehd was supposed to createe a new UUID. This is with VIrtual Box 4.1, FreeBSD 9 Thanks for any help. Regards, Scott -- sdb@ssr.com
