To the best of my knowledge (I havent re-installed VB since laptop rebuid) you should be able to copy the directory VM is in and ADD the copy to your VB Manager.<br />
<br />
You should also be able to copy to another machine and do the same.<br />

thanks for the help.<br />
it looks like doing clone, or copying the folder in <br />
\users\username\VirtualBox<wbr /> VMs\virtualbox virtual name<br />
both work.

i created my virtualbox virtual winxp machine, and installed and configured everything like i want. <br />
so is the way to &quot;capture&quot; this image, is to clone the image in the vm virtualbox manager?<br />
also, once it is cloned, would that mean i could install virtualbox on a completely different computer, copy over the cloned image, and it will run just like the original on the other computer?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
