I have tried several tutorials (will post soon due to restrictions) on how to set up my Bootcamp partition to be accessible via Virtualbox. I've done it before, from Mountain Lion, to have a Win 8 VM usable from my Bootcamp partition.
Now I have clean installed 10.10.2, I can't get it working. I dismount Bootcamp, create the vmdi in terminal, and set permissions. Oddly, I'm not asked to authenticate when setting the permission of the file to 777 (which this tutorial doesn't mention but others do).
When I try to add the disk when setting up the VM (even if I add it later as IDE ICH6) I get the following error...
Code: Select all
Failed to open the hard disk file /Users/square/BC8.vmdk.
Permission problem accessing the file for the medium '/Users/square/BC8.vmdk' (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).
Result Code: VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)

What else can I try?
