VirtualBox UUID woes (or how to successfully copy a virtual drive)

The Problem: VirtualBox will not let you copy a hard disk in its media manager, and if you do so manually (via the filesystem) it will complain about the UUID. I can't think of a good reason why they would do this. However, there is a work around provided from:
From the VirtualBox Forum
1. First copy the Virtual Disk in the .VirtualBox/HardDisks Folder
2. Name it something appropriate like Magento.vdi
3. If you are on windows, run "C:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox\VBoxManage" internalcommands setvdiuuid Magento.vdi
Change your path accordingly if your VBoxManage executable is somewhere else.
