Relocate Hard Disks

Post by cclloyd9785 »

I recently was forced to change my External drives letter from G to M. Now all the hard disks are lost on the UI because of the letter change. I changed the path where the default location for hard disks are. But how can i relocate the hard disks so i dont have to reinstall all my machines.

Quickest way is to edit the "<user>\.VirtualBox\VirtualBox.xml" file in a text editor such as "Notepad++" that can handle Unix style text files. Then change all the drive letters manually and save.
