NB : if you already create a virtual machine from MS VHD images, you will probably have to change your new VHD image UUID before installing : VBoxManage internalcommands setvdiuuid new_ms_image.vhd

Now go to Start > Run and paste the following to extract VirtualBox drivers :

D:\VBoxWindowsAdditions-x86.exe /extract /D=C:\Drivers

Now setup the Network Adapter : go to Start > Administrative Tools > Computer Management and select the Device Manager there. Navigate to Network Adapters, Ethernet Controller. Right click it and choose “Update Driver…“. Select “Yes, now and every…” and click Next. Select “Install from a list or specific location“, click Next. In the Location box paste in “C:\Drivers\x86\Network\AMD” or navigate to it manually. Click Finish.

You should have a working ethernet connection now. You can also activate your Windows.

Shutdown your virtual machine.

Take another snapshot of your fresh VHD install in case of future problems....

That's all...

I was inspired from this how-to : http://zytzagoo.net/blog/2009/03/20/howto-running-ie6-ie7-and-ie8-on-ubuntu-intrepid-810-using-virtualbox/

Cloner la copie vers la nouvelle machine

vboxmanage clonehd oldmachine.vdi --existing newmachine.vdi

NB : plutôt que de la copier, le plus simple doit être de déréférencer la machine virtuelle source (mais je n'ai pas eu l'occasion d'essayer).
