Background - I am dualbooting Win10 and Kubuntu 14.04.
Windows 10 has it's own 240 GB SSD (C:) and a 1 TB drive (D:).
Under Disk Management
- C: shows as Disk 2
- D: shows as Disk 1.
Disk 0 is a 240 GB SSD which I use as my Linux home partition and I have another 2 TB HDD for Linux data which shows as Disk 3 in Windows 10.
Now, I want to use my Linux partitions within VirtualBox after booting up Windows 10. Following this documentation as well as this, I open up the cmd
prompt rom windows and type in:
VBoxManage.exe internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "C:\Users\jrobe\VirtualBox VMs\Jarvis\jrvs_ptr.vmdk" -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0
which does, indeed, create the .vmdk
file, but when I go to boot it from within VBox, it tells me FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.
Any ideas how to boot to this device? All I really want to do is to be able to edit contents on Disk 0 and Disk 3 from within Windows 10. I would also be open to creating a new VM and just mounting these locations, but I'm not sure how to do that.
