VirtualBox
- Installed with apt, version 3.2.0
- We are booting Windows directly from the partition /dev/sda2. For this we create a raw disk, and update the MBR code to remove GRUB (requires package mbr):
sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=opensource.mbr bs=512 count=1
sudo install-mbr -i n -p D -t 0 opensource.mbr # Requires package "mbr"
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename nxl67002-sda2-mbr.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -partitions 2 -relative -mbr opensource.mbr
- See section Advanced storage configuration in Ch. 9 Advanced topics.
- NOTE! The raw disk might need to be updated every time the partitioning change on the host drive. But may be this is not required since we used
-relative
.
- VirtualBox must be booted as root:
gksudo VirtualBox&
