I already created a clone of the original VM. So now I have the original VM in this folder: "C:\Users\logonID\VirtualBox VMs\WindowsVistaUltimate". Likewise I have the cloned version in this one: "C:\Users\logonID\VirtualBox VMs\WindowsVistaUltimate-clone". I made this by using the clone feature of VBox. Does the way I did it interfere with the data, or can I not use what I have already created and simply apply the commands to it? > At times, I've been known to make `gold versions' of a `VDI' and use > the command below to create new Instances: > > pablo@oreo:/usr2/tmp > $ vboxmanage internalcommands sethduuid monkey.vdi > UUID changed to: 21cdfd83-a9c0-44c7-ae93-565eb704198e Maybe your monkey is suffering from a monkey stroke? Or maybe I am? When I open the VBox Help file and use its Search tab to look for either "internalcommands" or "sethduuid", it fails to find them. Also, when I copied everything from "8.2 Commands Overview" to search for them, still it was a no-go. If these are valid commands you mentioned, why are they not in the Help file too? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WINDOWS 8 is here. Millions of people.
