Yesterday i moved my folder with vms from /Samsung to /media/Samsung ( changing in fstab the mount point). I was surprised i found this:

Example
Oracle VM VirtualBox Administrador_026.png (125.07 KiB) Viewed 770 times
So i was surprised and had to create new virtual machines. I assume that Virtualbox could not find the route /Samsung/Maquinas VirtualBox/Clientes Windows.... because changed to /media/Samsung/Maquinas Virtuales.....
but it was as simple as accesssing to settings of the VM and change the storage place of the vmdk file. I lost all the configurations and wasnt able to change these parameters inside the settings of each Vm.

I created the Windows 7b and Windows 10b vms using the existing vmdk files ...not great work but very annoying and was anxious that i thought i lost all the data.....
Thanks

You are supposed to unregister the VM before moving the VM folder. Then you can register the .vbox file again in the new location.
