Can't clone virtual machine called CLIENT

[Gwinnett Tech Student]

Hello, All,

I"m trying to create a clone of a Windows XP SP3 client, called CLIENT, on VirtualBox and call it REMOTE, but I get this error:

Failed to clone the virtual machine CLIENT.

Cannot register the floppy image 'c:\gtslabs\REMOTE\WINNT.vfd' {a6dc61b8-ca2c-434c-b126-56ba28a41406} because a floppy image 'c:\gtslabs\CLIENT\WINNT.vfd' with UUID {a6dc61b8-ca2c-434c-b126-56ba28a41406} already exists.

Result Code: E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057)
Component: VirtualBox
Interface: IVirtualBox {fafa4e17-1ee2-4905-a10e-fe7c18bf5554}

Can someone help me? Do I delete the .vdi and re-create the .vdi, so to have a new UUID? Or, is there some simple solution? Thank you.

I would remove the offending piece. It appears that you have a floppy mounted and it needs to be removed.

I did, but I keep getting this message:

I removed any .vfd file that might exist. I don't get this. Can I change the UUID to something else?

Right-click on the CLIENT VM, show in Explorer. Zip the "CLIENT.vbox" file and post it here.

I don't understand. Can you be more specific?
