the proper way kind of data migration bit of research before doing it. proper way move virtual drive "copy" feature of file > virtual media manager (as described here: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14976 , @toris).

if did same mistake did , used copy->paste of disk , fail attach use these steps:

  1. go virtualbox management panel gui;
  2. press: file (top panel) -> virtual media manager (vmm);
  3. choose hard disks fail attach , remove them;
  4. reattach them each vm instance normal way;

there no uuid errors after removed disk through (vmm) - in case still errors, please post here or in question reference one, know solution has been tried out.
