I use VirtualBox 4.1.x on my Ubuntu machine and I've set up several virtual machines. Since there are several ways one can move a virtual machine in VirtualBox to another computer, I was wondering which one is the recommended way: Use the "Import/Export utility." Copy the entire virtual machine folder, containing the .vdi and .vbox files.
Copy the .vhd file to your new computer. Create a new Windows 7 32-bit virtual machine (click New in the VirtualBox Manager window) and when you get to the virtual disk section, select the option to use an existing hard drive, browse to your .vdi file and select it.
Now that we have created the floppy images we can start to configure VirtualBox. Create a virtual machine Create in VirtualBox a new virtual machine with the name Windows 3.11 or any name you like. By OS Type select the Operating System: Microsoft Window. Under version select: Windows 3.1.
VirtualBox wouldn't let me load the main VHD since it was marked as read only. I've tried two things... First, I took the main VHD and ran it through CloneVDI. When I used that file, it gave the the blue screen mentioned above. Since that didn't work, I copied the main VHD to my desktop and linked to it. I connected to that VHD and it worked.
The devs introduced two new graphics controllers in VirtualBox 6.0.0 (Dec 2018, so just a little more than one year ago): VBoxSVGA for Windows guests and VMSVGA for Linux guests. Of course it's in the nature of development that whenever you start with a blank sheet, you start with a whole new mess of bugs, which the devs have been working their ...
If you must use VHD, and they are handy for being able to mount the virtual disk file as writable on a Windows host while the VM is shut down, use fixed VHD. Virtualbox is compatible with VHD, but VDI is of course grokked better.
You need to convert it to a format which VirtualBox supports writing to like VDI, VHD or VMDK in order to attach it to a VM. This can be done using VBoxManage in the Command Prompt: VBoxManage clonemedium disk
VirtualBox can use VHD format natively, so there's no need to import anything. You just create a new VM, and when it gets to the disk creation step you select "use existing" and select your VHD. The VHD needs to be stand alone (not a linked clone).
Based on my experience, I was on Windows 7 and running Ubuntu 14.04 as guest OS on Virtual Machine. Go to your Virtualbox folder (in my case): C:UsersDev12VirtualBox VMsUbuntu; You'll see files with extensions: Ubuntu.vbox-tmp or Ubuntu.vbox-prev; Remove -tmp from file name Ubuntu.vbox-tmp so that it reads as Ubuntu.vbox
This forum recommends that we convert any VHD format to VDI. So I did, and the conversion was easy. However, I could not manage to attach the new VDI to the old virtual machine.
Yes, you can mount a VHD in a VirtualBox VM, however the virtual hardware is different so expect driver changes. Also I would convert the VHD to VDI format before I started using it, because VHD is not very robust.
1) File > Preferences > Input on the Virtual Machine which is stuck in Scale Mode. 2) Change or Reset the Host Key. There's no need to even save after changing the settings. 3) Re-open the Virtual Machine and it should be reset!

4. Virtual Machine Settings Create a new Windows 98 (not Win7, you change to that later) virtual machine named "Win 98se" with 512MB of RAM and an 8GB or larger hard drive (fixed size drives are faster on host HDDs) then adjust the VM settings to match as closely as possible the list given below. The changes from default settings are in bold ...
VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualization software for x86_64 hardware (with version 7.1 additionally for macOS/Arm), targeted at laptop, desktop, server and embedded use.
I started to create the virtual hard disk in VirtualBox. I clicked "New", named the virtual disk, and chose the option "Use an existing virtual hard disk file". I selected the location of the file and clicked "Choose".

Login to virtual machine use below command to check ip address. (anyone will work) ifconfig; ip addr show; If you used NAT for your virtual machine settings (your machine ip will be 10.0.2.15), then you have to use port forwarding to connect to machine.
For this: Go to Settings of the Virtual Machine and then select: Shared Folders. Click on Add Shared Folder button. Specify folder path and folder name. In Virtual Machine you go to vboxsrv you would see your folders. You can also Create a …
