i have one virtual HD
i want to duplicate it,
and then associate it to a second machine.
i got an error that this disk can't be registered because there's allready HD with the same ID
what can i do to use 2 machines with cloned HD
(to create a new HD for each machine is a pain)
[Solved] use 2 machines with 2 HD that have same ID

Messages? this command works 100% so you're doing something wrong.

ok, my mistake
it works as just you showed
fast and easy.
i wonder if there gonna be a GUI command to do that
EDIT: or simply remove that restriction,
let different machines run with same UUID (Microsoft Virtual PC can).
anyway , thank you very much.
