I test this procedure few days ago with a similar work: a DEBIAN VM: # create a new (empty) HD 40gb file $ VBoxManage createhd --format VDI --size 40000 --filename Debian5-mailman-40.vdi VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.0.51_OSE (C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. 0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100% Disk image created. UUID: e1ca4ec4-7414-440c-9b4c-ed1e9192877b # clone the old file Debian5-mailman.vdi in the new Debian5-mailman-40.vdi (I suppose you should create the cmu-win2003.vdi file) $ VBoxManage clonehd --existing Debian5-mailman.vdi Debian5-mailman-40.vdi VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.0.51_OSE (C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
