Thank you to Mark Cranness, Gregory Nowak, and Frank (Beythien?).  Much 
appreciated.

SUGGESTION for the vBox developers:  please consider adding the ability 
(perhaps via browse for .vdi destination) to choose a
location for a new .vdi at creation time.

@Gregory ... answer to your question, by having many smaller* drives,
             then i only need to create a 1/4 TB image if i choose
             to back up my O/S c: drive; in addition to having separate
             logical  drives for placing .vdi files off of the c: drive, i
             also have logical drives for data (100GB) and .iso
             images (282GB).

             * i laugh when i say "smaller" when talking about
               100GB logical disks because in mid-1980's my first
               hard disk on my Zenith XT (IBM CLONE) came with
               a 10MB (sic) hard disk.

Again thanks to Mark, Gregory, and Frank to pointing me into to documentation 
and for your guidance.

i'm hoping that eventually i can segregate .vdi's to multiple logical disks as 
per my original idea, if not, i may have to rejoin my
E:, F:, and G: disks into a single logical disk if vBox needs all .vdi's on the 
same drive (i'm guessing that's not the case).

Regards/Gerry (Lowry)

in vBox files->global settings->general   you can set a default path for VMs
My vBox is in german, so the wording may be not quite right...
anyway the shortcut is ctrl-g
