Hi I made a clone of tha latest vdi file (50GB). What can i do now?

Create a new VM. Make the recipe as close as possible to the old VM, particularly RAM size, IO APIC setting, IDE controller and type, network mode and MAC addresses (hidden under an "advanced" button).

When the new VM wizard gets to the disk creation step, select "Use existing" and point at your clone VDI: which should be on a local disk, otherwise performance will be poor. It would be even better if you moved the VDI into the new VM folder after you're prompted for the existing disk, but before you answer. That way the VM will locate the disk inside the new VM folder, where it should be.

Hi I did it and my win is good . Thank you very much!!

Now can i delete some vdi files?
old winXP.vdi (harddisk)(12GB)
snapshots *.vdi (110GB)

I need only the clone?
clone....vdi (50GB) (is this file self-sufficient?)

Yes, if you are happy with the clone then you can now delete everything else, i.e. delete the older versions of that VM, and make sure to delete the old VM folder too, in case VirtualBox doesn't. Yes, the clone is self sufficient.

Yes Iam very happy, thanks for you.

I try copy the clone from external disk to mackbook disk and only copping and make some changes in WB doesnt work. So I clone the clone and its work .
