![]() ![]() If you are attemting to run Linux as the guest OS, you will probably also want to add a small partition for use as swap. In general, you will need to use 2 partitions, the EFI partition (containing boot strap code) and the partition containing your OS. ![]() For now, VBoxRawdisk does this attachment to IDE for you. It just doesn't work when attempting to attach to a SATA controller. ![]() Running VirtualBox under macOS, the VMDK file MUST be attached to an IDE controller.Use command-click to select multiple partitions. In VBoxRawdisk you select the partitions that you wish to use. All partitions on the disk are available for use by Virtual Box.Be warned!!Įntire physical disk access is on the whole easier to use than accessing individual partitions and seems to have (slightly) fewer caveats. Usage and Limitations This is dangerous stuff and there is a very real risk of destroying data if you inadvertently choose the incorrect virtual machine, incorrect partitions or the wrong disk. When a disk has been selected, the menu of virtual machines is enabled and you can proceed with generating the VMDK file. VBoxRawdisk also reads the VirtualBox registry to determine which virtual machines you have configured. When a drive is selected, key attributes of that device are displayed, enabling you to determine which drive contains the data you wish to use in VirtualBox. When the utility is initiated it scans the physical drives attached to your Mac and presents a table similar to that used by Disk Utility. It implements the steps described in Section 9 of the VirtualBox manual - 9.9.1.1 Access to entire physical hard disk and 9.9.1.2 Access to individual physical hard disk partitions, running VBoxManage to perform the steps based on data you supply via VBoxRawdisk. VBoxRawdisk is a small utility that makes it a little easier to generate the raw disk (VMDK) file required to load a real disk drive into VirtualBox.
