I've got 1:1 hard disk copy (~40GB) in a file. I want to use this raw disk image as a hard disk for a VirtualBox guest. Is it possible ?
I went through VBoxManage commands like convert(from/to)raw, createrawdisc, storageattach, but no success - the first one attempts to recreate entire 40GB file, that is not suitable for me. When i want to use my physical disk however, it works. I even found this (google it please, i can't post URLs)
Code: Select all
raw2vmdk-mount-raw-hard-disk-dd-images-as-vmdk-virtual-disks
My OS is Windows XP 32bit, VBox version 4.1.8
I think that this all works in Linux, but i cannot use Linux...
