Changing the UUID of a Virtualbox Hard Drive (VDI) using VBoxManage Sethduuid

Changing the UUID of a Virtualbox Hard Drive (VDI) using VBoxManage Sethduuid

In this video I change the Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) of a copied Virtualbox hard drive (vdi) using the VboxManage command line utility tool. In order to reuse an existing hard drive in Virtualbox you will need to have a different UUID for every hard drive associated with VirtualBox. If you simply make a copy of a hard drive without using the CloneHD utility of Virtualbox you will need to change the UUID of your copied VDI. The command is in the format VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid harddrive.vdi. For more information visit lecturesnippets.com
