    12 
    13 - Attempt to-reattach A3 to VM A.  Note that A3 is shown with the blue star icon, indicating that a differencing disk is attached somewhere (so VB thinks).

    15 - Virtual Media Manager > Observe that A3 does NOT have a differencing disk.
    16 
    17 - Restore Snapshot on A and Delete Snapshot on A
