I think the program must check GUID before creating HDD.. If is not a bug.
Thanks a lot.

Is this error reproducible? The idea is that the clonehd operation creates a new UUID. The likelyhood that the new UUID is already used is very very low. If it's not the case on your system then we need to find out why.
