Hi there,
I have made another windows application, this time for anyone wanting to add a raw (physical) windows drive to a VirtualBox VM.
I made it so I could run my old pc as a VM using my old "hard drive" still in my new PC.
It is based on this forum thread so credits to everyone there.

This software makes it easier to "mount" a Physical (RAW) Disk to a VirtualBox Virtual Machine.
Just select the Physical disk from the Tree View and then select a output folder and name for the vmdk file.
Then just save the vmdk file and add it to your VM.
If the Disk is in use in Windows you will need to use DiskPart to take it offline and make it readable.
I didn't want to automate this in fear that someone selects the wrong disk etc.
All needed diskpart commands are listed inside the utility but please be careful when using the diskpart command.
Let me know if there is something missing that you would like me to add.
