Do you mean "copied?" Or do you mean "renamed?" If you actually copied the VDI file, while the VM was off, using a tool that knows nothing about VirtualBox (for example, using "cp" command), let's say for backup purposes, then it truly shouldn't cause any problem. > I had just recently > backed up the whole directory to another HD so restored from that and it > still won't start.

If it already exists, why would you be trying to add it again? If you need to add it again for some reason, delete the old one first.
