However while converting this raw image to VDI it's throwing the below error:

Code: Select all

E:\VM>vboxmanage convertfromraw boot.img bootable.vdi --format VDI
Converting from raw image file="boot.img" to file="bootable.vdi"...
Creating dynamic image with size 512 bytes (1MB)...
VBoxManage.exe: error: Cannot create the disk image "bootable.vdi": VERR_INVALID
_PARAMETER
Any suggestion anyone please..

Thanks in advance

Why don't you continue in your original thread?
Probably Vbox expects a valid partitioned (virtual) disk format.
