Reopen virtual machines after reinstalling Windows

Post by laurent_75 »

Hello,

Excuse me but I do not speak English (translation on the Internet).

I plan to reinstall Windows Installer Windows Seven or eight.

My virtual machines are on another disk.

I would like to know how to reopen my VMs after reinstalling Windows and VirtualBox (version 4.2.6.82870)?

Thank you in advance

Make sure to back up your entire "VirtualBox VMs" folder (or whatever it is called in your language). Then just install VirtualBox on the new host, and use the Machine|Add... menu item to add back each VMs .vbox file.
