Switching to new machine
This took all day. I first attempted to set the home dir for mholmes on the second disk drive, but when I did that, I ended up with no bash profile. I ended up leaving it at /home/mholmes, but symlinking to specific folders on the second drive instead.
To move VirtualBox vms, I first deleted all snapshots, then moved the disks over (only the disks). Then I created new VMs for the HDs. All working normally, after lots of Windows updates and a bit of tweaking on the Win7 machine (which by default tried to attach the old IDE disk image to a SATA disk controller).
