| Oct 2, 2018 at 0:28 | comment | added | maxwhere | Thank you attie for your help! I didn't think of going down the dd road. As to your suggestion the only flag I used was count=10582591 since setting the blocksize parameter to 4M doubled the resulting image's size. Feel free to paste your post as answer and I'll mark it as solved. Cheers. | |

Do you have space to store a ~50.35 GiB image? If so, you could use dd to image the first ~50.35 GiB of the disk, and create a VDI from that. You need to take all data from the beginning of the disk to the end of partition 2... i.e: 105,582,591 sectors or (typically x512) 54,058,286,592 bytes - dd if=/dev/sdb of=image.dd bs=4M count=54058286592 iflag=count_bytes
