Renaming media and problems with

Post by abbas »

Hi
I have renamed my media, from '/media/media' to '/media/store' by GParted. then when I go to VirtualBox from Ubuntu I have problem since my virtual drives are inside '/media/store'. What should I do?
Note: virtualbox does not allow to reattach the drive due to its similar UUID. cloning also failed. even if I could clone, the my disk had no space to clone and moreover i would lose my saved state of my virtual machine.

thanks

Rename the folder back?

Beyond that I need to know what version of VirtualBox was used to create the VMs in question. Basically, are the VM settings stored in an .xml file or in a .vbox file? Look in the VM folder to check. Be aware that Windows hides file extensions by default - you may wish to turn off that annoying and dangerous feature.
