I have one VM that works. Its virtual HD is "Windows 7 laufend.VDI".
But I want to make a second with a different virtual HD with different content. (But use the same settings.)
I did clone the working VM several times and then have deleted them again.
I also have deleted several virtual HD's because I was not able to bring them into VirtualBox.
So at the moment I just have the following virtual HD's:
"14-03-2020.VHD"
"Windows 7 laufend.VDI" (see above)
-> "Windows 7 laufend.VDI" is not from "14-03-2020.VHD". This two have different contents.
-> "14-03-2020.VHD" is the new virtual HD which I want to convert into VDI to use it for a second VM.
-> "14-03-2020.VHD" is identical with "Version 2.VHD" (which I have copied and renamed). But there is no "Version 2.VHD" more there yet.
I simply want to make a VDI from "14-03-2020.VHD"
But this does not work:
Code: Select all
$ VBoxManage clonemedium "/home/Konto/VirtualBox VMs/14-03-2020.VHD" "/home/Konto/VirtualBox VMs/Win7 Len 14-03-20.VDI" --format VDI
