Accessing raw partitions with VMDK (VirtualBox 1.4)
I get a hard kernel lockup when trying to use this feature - both under Vmware and VirtualBox. No log to speak of unfortunately, but the virtual hard disk that I'm trying to access is under lvm2 (and consequently, device-mapper is used). The XP Cd hangs at probing the hard drive.
As this post was being written in Firefox , creating a virtual disk (vdi) also failed at that stage (again, hard lockup in kernel, Alt-SysRq-b for me...) [fortunately firefox saves posts] (using ext2 as backing fs, on lvm2). It's all very strange...

That command is setting permissions to the "device nodes," not to the actual partitions themselves. Using /dev/sda* will set the permissions to /dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, etc. I'm pretty sure once you restart the permissions will be reset anyway, so you can perform that just to try and see if it'll work.
Thanks for the help. The chmod 666 /dev/sda* did work! As you said after rebooting the chmod 666 /dev/sda* is gone and must be redone. Probably that this command must be started in a startup script then.
I had to set permission to the second vmdk file as well and now I can access the file in the virtual disk manager:
chown kilou /home/kilou/.VirtualBox/WinXP.vmdk
AND
chown kilou /home/kilou/.VirtualBox/WinXP-pt.vmdk
I could start the VM but it locked when loading Grub with error 17. Probably this is because Grub files are in /boot/grub which is on the host system. I will have to look at the -mbr winxp.mbr option but I don't have any winxp.mbr file on my system. Does anyone have this mbr file? According to the manual any mbr file from windows should work, no matter the partition setup.
However I also tried to access the whole disk (not only sda2) with using:
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /home/kilou/.VirtualBox/WindowsXP.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda
and giving the vmdk file the permissions. Building a VM on this virtual disk, I could boot on the disk and access grub. I selected XP and it started to boot (I had created a separate hardware profile for the VM and it asked me on which hardware profile I wanted to boot). But after that: Black screen! It didn't boot any further and I had to stop the VM. No matter which hardware profile I select, I get a black screen
I tried to launch XP in safemode with command prompt to see where the lockup occurs and it happens after loading \windows\system32\drivers\Mup.sys
Any idea what that means?

One step after the other: I had to enable both ACPI and IO ACPI in VirtualBox to allow to boot XP a step further. Now I can see the bootscreen but then I get a BSOD asking me to check for viruses, remove newly installed harddrive controllers, run CHKDSK /F etc. Even after doing that (I don't know what to do about harddrive controllers though) I always get that same screen.
This is a harddisk driver issue I believe - it has been a while since I did this with vmware so I can`t tell you the exact steps how to do it. However, as far as I remember there is a hard disk driver I needed to download ( I think I got it somewhere from vmware site ) and install on Windows first so that Windows XP was able to use the virtual harddisk.kilou wrote:One step after the other: I had to enable both ACPI and IO ACPI in VirtualBox to allow to boot XP a step further.

A more detailed explanation : There are different types of harddisks : SCSI, IDE, SATA and they all are driven by different drivers. When you install Windows it expects its (boot)harddisk to be used with the current harddisk driver and when the driver required to access the boot drive changes it pops out the error message. This will happen in particular for SATA drives because they are accessed differently on Windows / Linux and will thus need a different driver in a virtual machine than native ( this is all out of memory so maybe partially incorrect ).
See this post and the whole topic for some hints on how to do it : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-21 ... e7#2104789
Search for "raw disk vmware SATA" to find more docs.
Good results are e.g. :
http://www.vmware.com/community/thread. ... eID=354464
http://www.motin.eu/www/mirror/physvmware/
I am not sure if this will work for virtualbox, too, because the SCSI driver maybe only works with vmware.
Most importantly before you try to run Windows off a raw disk remember to create hardware profiles ( one for virtual machine one for native, which is there already ). Otherwise Windows will change drivers whenever you switch between virtual / native resulting in heavy system workload, maybe if system destructive events and the need for calling Microsoft to reregister Windows because of the many hardware changes ...
Thanks everyone! The MergeIDE utility solved the problem and I can now boot into my existing XP install. Great!!
I now have to figure out how to do the same with the -partitions option in VBoxManage command so that it can make only sda2 available and boot on XP immediately (with -mbr option). Does anybody have a winxp.mbr file to share?
Also is it possible to immediately boot on a specific hardware profile in the VM while boot on the other (standard) hardware profile when dualbooting XP normally (Like telling the VM to use the non-default hardware profile only)?

We can't provide you with winxp.mbr (at least not the very original one, as that's binary code (C) Microsoft). You can either boot some Windows PE from CD in that VM and do "fdisk /mbr", which removes GRUB (happens only on the disk image visible for the VM, and not on the host disk, just like the -mbr option) or use some Linux live CD on some Windows-only install and get winxp.mbr yourself with "dd if=/dev/sda of=winxp.mbr count=1".
An alternative (which may or may not work, haven't tried) is using the open source MBR code from the install-mbr utility (usually located in a package named install-mbr or just mbr). Create a MBR file usable for the -mbr option with "install-mbr --force opensource.mbr". Another alternative (again haven't tried) is to use the mbr.bin file that comes with syslinux. That file is usually located in /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin.

Having same problem on XP host
Seems like the thread led to successful resolution for a user with linux host. I have the same issue as zyzgak i.e. running on XP host, trying to boot VBox with raw linux partitions.

This thread has been very helpful so far. However, I'm still running into problems when trying to boot my Windows partition from inside Linux (I have a SATA drive).
What I did so far:
Here's my VBox.log:
What I did so far:
- unmounted the Windows partition
chmod 666 /dev/sda*
Built a vmdk file having access to the whole disk (otherwise I ended up with a Grub error 17)
chown the vmdk to my user account
played around with the ACPI and IO APIC settings
Here's my VBox.log:
