+    <para>
+      The <command>VBoxManage registervm</command> command enables you
+      to create a virtual machine (VM) by importing an XML machine
+      configuration file into &product-name;. The VM cannot conflict
+      with a VM that is already registered in &product-name;. In
+      addition, the VM cannot have any hard disks or removable disks
+      attached. Ensure that the XML machine configuration file is in the
+      machines folder prior to registration.
