Note: the vdi virtual disk file formats used by VirtualBox are similar in concept to the .vhd virtual files used by
Microsoft and Microsoft Virtual PC, and similar to VMWare .vmdk files. VirtualBox can directly use .vhd or .vmdk
files, but to convert a file to vhd format (or vice versa) by using the VBoxManage command
VBoxManage clonehd <filename>.vdi
<filename>.vhd -format vhd
