Booting a Physical Windows 10 Disk Using VirtualBox with encrypted Linux partition

Post by chavo »

Hi everybody, I'm trying to setup VirtualBox to launch an existing Windows 10 partition.
I'm following this topic number: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=98410
And openminded's guide here: https://the-digital-native.de/?p=366

Everything works fine until the GRUB rescue part. I created the vmdk file and run the VM.
However when I run the command:

Code: Select all

insmod chain
the shell returns:

Code: Select all

error: disk 'cryptouid/bdbe...129' not found
And I can't move on.
I tried also to cryptomount a bunch of partitions but without succes.

I think it's because my Linux partition in encrypted but I didn't add it to the vmdk.
This would have been my next step but I read that it can be extremely harmful since it's also the host partition.

What should I do? Thanks
