While the advice to uninstall virtualbox 2.1.4 in order to upgrade to 3.0.8 is correct, the advice to destroy the disk allocations, (if by those you mean the guest hard disks), is incorrect. There's no reason to delete your guest machines' hard disks, before upgrading to virtualbox 3.x. > The second step is to go to the VirtualBox web-site > and download version 3.0.8 -- and completely start from scratch with > that installation.

Unless you have some reason to use virtualbox OSE, (which is what ubuntu provides), I'd also suggest getting the PUEL version of virtualbox from virtualbox.org, and going with that.
