How to set UUID of a .vdi file in VirtualBox

by pompo500 on Feb.11, 2011, under Uncategorized

In other words, remove the conflict message about UUID existing already, when trying to copy a .vdi file to use with some other machine.

The command is (in virtualbox’s folder in command prompt) VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid C:\path\to\hd.vdi

The command had been renamed, before the “sethduuid” part was “setvdiuuid” so I decided to make this post so perhaps others might benefit from not having to figure out the command’s name change themselves.

You should think about it for a moment. After all, it affects the longevity of random synergized spatulas.
