[Solved] How to share another VB installation
Posted: 15. Apr 2018, 02:00
Hi,
I have VB (v. 4.3.36) running fairly under Debian Jessie.
In a separated directory I have installed the new Debian Stretch 9.4 and installed VB (5.1.3).
Now, I would like not to repeat the installation of the various OS's (WinXP specially) and use the virtual disks of the other installation. Are they compatible between the two VB releases ?
I tried and connect them (presently they are dynamic .vdi), but got WinXP running with just the basic utilities. As far as I could understand from the User Manual I should have them configured as "fixed size". However I am not sure about, and could not find the way and the commands to convert them (if it is possible to do).
Thanks for help
