Trouble accessing raw Windows XP partition

Posted: 16. Jul 2008, 06:30

I get this error:

Code: Select all

Syntax error: Invalid command 'createrawvmdk'
When trying to execute:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /home/joshua/.VirtualBox/winxpc.vmdk -rawdisk/dev/sda1 -register
on SuSE Linux. The version:

Code: Select all

VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.5.6_OSE
What am I doing wrong? Did I get a version of virtualbox that does not support raw disk access?

Vbox has supported Rawpartitions since 1.4

This error is raised when the internalcommands routine fails to parse p2. The only way I can repeat this is to put a non-printable character in createrawvmdk.
