I thought I remembered something, and just tried it here. You don't even need to move the hd image after creating it with vboxmanage; you can create it directly where you want it it. So, either open a command prompt window where you want the hd image to be created, or cd/drive_letter: until you end up in wherever you want to put the hd image. Then type: vboxmanage createhd --filename test.vdi --size 1000 This would create a dynamic test.vdi in your current directory, which would appear to the guest as a 1000mb drive. You should also be able to give the full path to the --filename flag if you don't want to cd your way to it. Unless you have where vboxmanage.exe resides already in your path (you need to add that yourself), you'll have to invoke vboxmanage.exe by specifying the full path to it. Do a search for vboxmanage.exe, and you'll find what the exact path is. Alternatively, you could just skip running cmd.exe, and browse to it from the run dialogue, and input all the arguments there.
