Help with VirtualBox copy/clone .vdi's

[EvilGenesys]

I have already posted this at virtualbox.org, but I wanted to get this as much exposure as I can so I can move ahead.

I have a few questions in regards to copy/cloneing .vdi's... but first, a little background.

Right now, I am preparing to switch from Windows XP MCE as my host OS to Fedora 10 and am in the process of backing up all of the files that I would like to keep, including my Windows Server 2K3 vdi and my Windows 7 vdi.

At first, I just tried to drag/drop the vdi's to my USB HDD, but that didn't work. I got an error saying my destination did not have enough hard drive space, which was false.

So, I discovered that I could use the clonehd command in the command console, which I am doing now. The real question that I have, is how do I find out what the UUID of a vdi is, that way, when I get VirtualBox up and running on Fedora 10, I can just clone the vdi's back.

Thanks!

Is your external hard drive formatted in FAT32? Needs to be formatted in NTFS to allow for files greater than 4gb.
