So, once I get the newer version installed, how do I get my XP machine loaded? To be more specific, I would like the XP machine as it is now so that I do not lose a specific app which I will be unable to replace. I created two folders on my external hd and synced "/usr/lib/virtualbox" to one and "/usr/share/virtualbox" to the other. One of the two syncs had an error msg. which I didn't bother to read in my ADD-prone nature. OK, so will I, most likely anyway, be able to move these directories to my new VBox or am I completely off base here?

I believe that all I did was copy over the vdi file (from
$HOME/.VirtualBox/HardDisks) and then chose to use it as a pre-existing
hard drive while creating the new machine. However, it was a long time
ago, and I'm not guaranteeing that.
