Syntax error: Invalid parameter 'D:\UbuntuServer1.vdi'
There is a new option now in VirtualBox 4.1 to copy a VDI with a new format (including VHD), which is equivalent to the command Derek P pointed out last year, but in a nice GUI. Open Virtual Box and select Files > Virtual Media Manager. Select an existing disk file on the Hard Disks tab and click the Copy button.
Try: VBoxManage.exe clonehd "D:\Ubuntu VM1.vhd" D:\UbuntuServer1.vdi --format vdi
