Re: VDI file extraction
If you mean copy the files off to the Mac OS X host, then yes, and the easiest way would be to set up a shared folder and copy the files to that folder. Then they would be accessible to both the guest and the host.

Re: VDI file extraction
The way to get around that would be to create another guest, and then using that guest mount the virtual hard drive of the guest you want to copy files from as a secondary drive.
