[Solved] How to change the vdi uuid?

Post by Leloup78 »

Bonjour,

After the guest upgrade, I should like keeping the previous guest before upgrading.
How to change the uuid of vdi?
I tried: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxmanage.exe internalcommands sethduuid "F:\Leloup\VirtualBox VMs\Linux Mint X.vdi"
error: Format autodetect failed: VERR_PATH_NOT_FOUND
Are they other methods?
Maybe it is possible to change de uuid from the vbox files?

Regards,
Leloup

Just clone the VM before the upgrade.
