VDI means "Virtual Disk Image". Your statement is similar to saying "execute both hard drives in parallel". You don't "execute" a hard drive, you run a VM that utilizes one or more hard drives.

Have you looked at the "Clone" option? Because this is what I think you are trying to do. See ch. 1.14 Cloning virtual machines. You should have a searchable PDF included with your installation (/doc subdirectory of your VirtualBox installation). Take advantage of that fact, and use it to search the PDF for the terms that interest you.
