I am trying to clone a VM and I am following the instructions in the manual EXACTLY but I keep getting the following error: "The Syntax of the Command is incorrect!!! this is what I am trying to do

You have added a few things that don't actually belong.

remove the following *red entries in your command.
c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage.exe clonevm --k:\virtualmachines\melody1.vdi <k:\virtualmachines\melody2.vdi>

Looking at another of your log files it appears that you don't have the absolute path correct either. Your log show k:\Virtual Machines\ and not k:\virtualmachines

The space will force you to wrap the commands in quotes because spaces are not allowed.

now I get the following error: vboxmanage.exe is not a valid win32 application!

I see NOBODY is going to help me AGAIN!

Why are you trying to use something that you evidently don't understand? Use the VirtualBox main manager (graphical interface) and clone the guest from there.

I don't need to try to clone it anymore, I was going to clone it to see if it would fix my BSOD problem but I solved it in a different way... I posted the steps on how to fix this... you are free to write a tutorial for it... view my steps here...

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. I hope you learned a lesson with this. If you have critical data you should always have a backup. (do not use snapshots as a backup)

As for a tutorial this had nothing to do with VirtualBox so none is needed.
