hi all, I am beginning to suspect that what I want to do isn't possible, but wanted to post here to ask anyway. I have an dualboot laptop with win10 and Linux. What I would like to do is from Linux boot my win10 partition via virtualbox.
The steps I've taken:
1 Added myself to disk group
2 ran
Code: Select all
sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "realwin.vmdk" -rawdisk /dev/nvme0n1p3
3 edited realwin.vmdk permissions:
Code: Select all
sudo chown root:disk realwin.vmdk
sudo chmod 660 realwin.vmdk
which results in:
Code: Select all
.rw-rw---- 543 root disk 29 Jul 10:19 realwin.vmdk
4 created a virtualbox machine and attached realwin.vmdk as the harddrive.
When I try to start the vm I get:
Code: Select all
FATAL: could not read from boot medium! system hualted.
Is this because I did not mount the efi partition? I know you shouldn't mount the same partition on both the host and virtualbox and since this is a dual boot setup windows and linux share the efi. So am I correct that because I can't mount the efi in virtualbox what I want to do won't work? or am I missing something?
thanks in advance
