Is the error I got when trying to do VBoxManage internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk /dev/sda in preparation for virtualizing a partition. Why?????

Nvm, I was supposed to type VBoxManage internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0 for windows, manual was a little vague. Is it normal that I ended up with a 32KB output when I typed VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename C:\Idrive.vmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive1 -partitions 2 though?
