When i got my laptop, in preparation for using vBox, (because i'm a vBox newbie)
i partitioned my hard disk like this by shrinking and creating partitions:
C:\ 225 GB: windows 8.1 O/S. (factory installed)
E:\ 100 GB: intended for win10 .vdi files
F:\ 100 GB: intended for win2012r2 .vdi files
G:\ 100 GB: intended for win8.1 .vdi files
When i set up my first instance of Windows 10, i switched to "Expert Mode"
because i hope to find a way to control the placement of the .vdi file.
i failed and vBox 5.0.14 (latest stable version AFAIK)
placed the .vdi here without giving me a choice:
C:\Users\<my user name>\VirtualBox VMs\10pro\10pro.vdi
MY NEWBIE QUESTIONS:
(a) what is the SAFE workflow to move the above .vdi file to my logical E:
drive and tell vBox i've done that?
(b) is there a way to tell vBox in advance where i want it to place each .vdi
that i create.
(c) if i take a snapshot of a .vdi, will it take as much hard disk space
as the .vdi before the snapshot? (i.e., if .vdi is 20gb, will .vdi plus
snapshot be 40gb?)
Thank you/Gerry
P.S.: Kudos to all of the developers who have made vBox awesome
and kudos to Oracle for keeping vBox Open Source and free.
