Opening VDI on a different machine
Posted: 27. Dec 2018, 14:37
Hi,
I'm on a Mac and my Mac broke. However, I managed to copy the "~/VirtualBox VMs" folder including the VDI files, etc.
Now that I have a new Mac though, I'm not able to open that VDI file.
It says "UUID {937c8c1b-7a90-4aaa-a7e4-2fa706468e87} of the medium '/Users/teepusink/VirtualBox VMs/Ubuntu 16.04.05/Ubuntu 16.04.05.orig.vdi' does not match the value {bfd2821a-e60c-4405-b474-d5720a928f0d} stored in the media registry ('/Users/teepusink/Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml')."
I didn't copy the file under "~/Library/*".
Here are stuff I've tried:
- VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid Ubuntu\ 16.04.05.orig.vdi
(Still doesn't work)
- And when I do VBoxManage list hdds, it says the State is "inaccessible"
To be exact, what steps should I do to import? Maybe I did it wrong in the first place.
I didn't export as "OVF" as I'm just learning about it now.
What else can I do? This is so stressful.
Thank you!
