VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename rawXP.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -partitions 2 -mbr rawxp.mbr -relative
6. Ran virtualbox
7. Created a machine
8. Added an Image to sata controller

Hello,

in I) 2 I can read "If Bios and Firmware Revisions are not listed, set them both to the version of SMBIOS.", what shall do if I only have the Firmware Revision which is not listed?

Thanks,

Guillaume.

Howto: Windows 7 in both VM and native - DISCUSSION

Post by andreaskme »

Is there an update for Windows 7 ?

So is it possible to have a Windows 7 installation,
and choose each time

to either dual boot it natively, or
to boot it inside a virtualbox.

Thanks a million!
Andreas
