How to clone a VirtualBox disk

How-To: Clone or Copy a VirtualBox Virtual Disk

For me, I wanted to convert a .vhd to .vdi, so I did the following:
  1. Created a copy of the .vhd (I'm paranoid).
  2. Changed the UUID of the copy:
    VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid mycopy.vhd
  3. Cloned the copy into .vdi format:
    VBoxManage clonehd mycopy.vhd mycopy.vdi --format VDI
