Not as removable media, but it can be done: - Power off both VMs - Detach the image from the first VM (Machine > Settings > Storage > (Disk "-" tool)) - Attach to the second VM (Machine > Settings > Storage > (Select Controller) > Click Add Hard Disk tool > "Existing Disk" > Navigate to the VDI file. - Boot second VM, use disk partition programs to mount or add the new disk so it can be seen - Scan for viruses - Repeat first 3 steps above to re-attach the disk back to the first VM. Note: As you ADD images to the Storage tree, note the icon/picture that VirtualBox uses. If a blue gear cog is displayed that means a new differencing disk has been created and any changes made to the scanned disk will be private to the scanning VM. -- Mark _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] https://www.virtualbox.org/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
