I have set up a virtual machine with Xubuntu Linux in VirtualBox.
The disk is 4.5 GB a .vdi file.
How can I make an IMG or ISO file from this, such that I can then write it into a bootable USB flash drive,
either with Rufus disk imager software (on Windows)
or with
dd if=myvm.img of=/dev/sdc
?
TL;DR: I'm searching for a convert-vmdisk myvm.vdi myvm-bootable.img
tool.
I've already tried answers from Is it possible to convert virtual machines to physical environments? and especially
VBoxManage internalcommands converttoraw file.vdi output.img
but then after writing this .img to a USB flash drive (with Rufus), the PC won't boot on this USB flash drive.
