Run from command prompt..?

Use explorer or the command prompt to copy the vdi you want to use, rename if you wish, then reassign a new uuid to the vdi via the command prompt.
Do this by setting path of VirtualBox directory location at the prompt
cd\ to vdi location
VBoxManage internalcommands setvdiuuid diskname.vdi
Then make new machine and assign copied vdi
If this is all to hard send me a pm.
