on a Linux Ubuntu 12.04 Hosts, I want to make usable from a Windows Virtual-box machine a partition that is a true phisycal windows partition.
The partition is a NTFS partition hosted in an extended one.
What I did:
With the "listpartitions" option I've discovered the partition is number 5, then:
Code: Select all
sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename Dati.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -partitions 5
RAW host disk access VMDK file Dati.vmdk created successfully.
Code: Select all
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Any idea??
Thanks in advance.
