Before I wiped my computer, I was careful to back up my VirtualBox operating system and all of its configuration files which were stored at ~/.VirtualBox. Now that I've reinstalled my host OS and copied the files over, the OS doesn't show up when I start VirtualBox. How can I get back up and running?

Create new virtual machine and when you come up to "Virtual Hard Disk" section choose "Use existing hard disk" and select backup .vdi image.

Awesome, then I can modify the created config file with the values from the existing one as well. Thanks! – TK Kocheran Jun 3 '11 at 22:17
