I want to boot a physical harddisk with a xp professional 32-bit installation on it. I used the command
Code: Select all
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "</path/to/file>.vmdk" -rawdisk /dev/sda
Then I start the vm I get a question wether I'd like to change the boot device using F12 and when only a blinking cursor. It seems like Virtualbox cannot find the boot partition but there is no error message.
I already tried several approaches to start this xp installation. So I created an image using dd. But it is always exactly the same outcome: a blinking cursor.
Any idea?
