How to create vbox file for virtualbox?

Situation: I had centos before and everythung was working. Now when i got debian on my system, virtualbox dont let me add the existing vmdk and show me errors about mismatched UUIDs of vmdk to its snapshots. The errors are shown when virtualbox try to load the .vbox file of my VM.

To avoid errors: I ignored the snapshots and copied the vmdk in new folder, changed its UUID, created new VM and attached the vmdk. Everythung is ok except for

One big problem: The VM when start i see old data. That means the missing old snapshot if not attached to the new VM then latest data is not recovered. And to attach the snapshot i have to change the .vbox file and i dont know any easy way to do that.

Questions:

1. Is there any tool or help on how to create the .vbox file from scratch?

2. In that perticular situation what is the best way to get my latest data from vmdk+snapshots?
