Listpartitions error in Vista

[enortham]

I ran the following from a shell in Windows Vista as suggested in the user manual:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage.exe internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0

Which resulted in the following

Code: Select all

VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.4.0

Error opening the raw disk: VERR_ACCESS_DENIED

Any idea how I can get around this. I'm ultimately trying to run an Ubuntu guest from a raw partition.

I just realized that I needed to run the command shell as an administrator.
