ISSUE WITH VBOXMANAGE

[nickie]

Hi,
The past few days I was trying to burn fpga and firmware images to my sd card by using the usrp2_card_burned.py provided by uhd.
I did that on my Fedora 17 which runs on Virtual Box in Windows host. So since my SD card was not obvious through the libusb command, in my Vbox, I figured I could access it in Fedora as raw device. That's why I used the command:

vboxmanage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename C:\sdcard.vmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive1 (1)

I verified with the diskpart+list disk commands in my Windows command line that my SD card was Disk #1.

ERROR MESSAGES
1)When I run command (1) as a normal user I had the following issue: VERR_ACCESS_DENIED

2)When running (1) as administrator I had the following issue
Failed to create the VirtualBox object
Code CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE <0X...> - Server Execution failed - extended file not available
Most likely the VBOX COM server is not running or failed to start

Error message 2) seems to appear for whatever command Iuse with vboxmanage when I run it as administrator
Error message 1) appears only with the command (1) when I run it as normal user


DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY FURTHER SUGGESTIONS?IS THERE STH I AM OMITTING?
