Running VMs on different hard drives?

Post by ckolling »

I am running on a Windows 7 host, and have all my VMs on my F drive, but would like to start putting some on a different hard drive (not all of them).
Is this possible?
Thanks

Yes it's possible, see the instructions in the howto forum.

Well, I looked through all the links, and did not see anything that points to me on how to do this.
Can you shoot me a link, or anyone else please?
Thank you

I saw this link already, however, what I am asking is how I can run some of my VMs on my external drive (where they are right now), and one or two locally on my machine.
I see in virtual box setting, where the VMs are stored, and when i cloned a machine, it dumped it in the same location.
I was not sure if I can have VMs stored on different drives.

Apparently so, just by doing a move.
