VBoxManage createrawvmdk on Windows Dynamic Disk (LDM)

Post by vuser1 »

Hello all,

I am trying to create rawdisk on top of windows software raid. I have 2 dynamic disks and Logical Drive Manager (LDM) partitions inside disks. One partition is mirror raid. I want to assign it to VM as rawdisk.

the command VBoxManage.exe internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename 2.vmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive1 -partitions 1 works but inside the VM I see one big partition - full disk. It's type is 42 (SFS).

I think I should assign not \\.\PhisicalDisk, but LogicalDisk or something. Is it possible to create rawdisk on windows software raid volume?
