[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1163665, member: 71075"] VBox creates a virtual HD that is simply a file. For instance, my Debian VM is located at ~/Library/VirtualBox/HardDisks/DebianTesting.vdi and is 7.25GB. This is the virtual HD file that you can move from system to system. There is also some configuration options at ~/Library/VirtualBox/Machines that you could move over but you don't have to move it. If you don't, you'll have to create a new VM on your second machine but instead of creating a new HD, you tell VBox to use an existing one (the one you mover over). Now, the location of the VM I listed above is for one I created pre VB 4.0. I mention that because it appears that 4.0 defaults to a different directory for some reason. [/QUOTE]
