Re: how do i copy vdi
Everything mpack said... clearly.
I use Robocopy on Windows 10 for simple backup of .vhd / .vhi files.
Something like this, in an elevated Command Prompt window:
FromDir - source dir.
ToDir - destination dir
FileVhd - file name of .vhd virtual disk.
Hope this helps. If not moderator please delete....

Code: Select all
Robocopy %FromDir% %ToDir% %FileVhd% /Z /copyall /secfix /timfix /V /TS /FP
Code: Select all
Example: robocopy d:\utiluso\virtbox\vhds\ d:\test\ popos_lnx.vdi /Z /copyall /secfix /timfix /V /TS /FP

Re: how do i copy vdi
I would ignore the RoboCopy advice, it just adds extra things to go wrong. I already gave you a link to the FAQ: I suggest you follow that.

Re: how do i copy vdi
Is English a second language? If yes then it might be better if you asked your questions in your native language, which would allow you to give more information and to be clearer about your goals.
Moving a VM from a laptop to a desktop PC an example of MOVING. The FAQ covers this.
A clone is a copy of the VM with various IDs changed, making it possible to have original and cloned VMs running at the same time on one PC, licenses permitting. Your first post gave no indication that this was your intention.
Cloning, when what you should have done was MOVE, would as mentioned result in changed IDs. Among other things this could indeed cause a grub boot fail, if grub happens to be configured to look for the boot disk based on its UUID instead of a slot number on the controller.
Note that exporting to OVA and then importing on the target PC also counts as cloning, as that too results in a new VM with changed IDs.
The best solution either way is to scrap the clone and complete the move as described in the FAQ.
