I ran the following commands to convert my existing Vista partition into a VirtualBox hard drive, but I can't seem to get it to boot. The log ended with:

00:00:05.569 Guest Log: BIOS: Booting from Hard Disk...

Before I powered it off forcefully.

There are no error messages either. What can I do?

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and have VBox 3.0.0 from the Jaunty repositories.

Try the clonezilla CD, before that starts it will show the dd commandline or just let it clone.

Is there any other way to do this from the Linux command line?

Maybe I needed to tell it what format I wanted it in?

VBoxManage convertfromraw -format VDI test.raw test.vdi

Thanks for the help, I was having the same problems and was about to start a new post, but I saw this one and it really helped. Thanks again
