Hello,

I've been trying to create a clone of my current virtual boot disk
before I try to enlarge it. 

I cd to the directory with the VDI file, and then:

VBoxManage clonehd Windows_7_64bit.vdi Windows7_Clone.vdi

The command reports:

VBoxManage: error: Cannot register the hard disk 
'/usr/home/redhotmomma/sdb/VirtualBox VMs/Windows_7_64bit/Windows_7_64bit.vdi' 
{83b50fa1-90ab-404d-bb6f-1a198017d05b} because a hard disk 
'/home/redhotmomma/sdb/VirtualBox VMs/Windows_7_64bit/Windows_7_64bit.vdi' with 
UUID {83b50fa1-90ab-404d-bb6f-1a198017d05b} already exists

of file VBoxManageDisk.cpp

AccessMode_ReadWrite, fForceNewUuidOnOpen, pMedium.asOutParam())" at line 210 
of file VBoxManageDisk.cpp

Which is odd, because I thought conehd was supposed to createe a new
UUID.

This is with VIrtual Box 4.1, FreeBSD 9

Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Scott
