Moving Drives over new system

Post by mocheeze »

Hey,

Plan on whipping my drive today and putting Windows 7 on, and wanted to know how to take my virtual drives and importing over to 7?

If your host is Windows, then backup the entire %userprofile%\.VirtualBox to a different partition or drive and restore it after the clean install of W7. Should be a breeze.
