Is it possible to install an OS on machine's hard-drive instead of virtual hard-drive using a VM (QEMU/VirtualBox)?

The reason I want to install an OS like this is because currently I don't have an opportunity to connect my machine to internet via Ethernet cable.

  • Your question is not clear. Are you asking if it's possible to mount a physical HDD volume to that of a VM instance?

  • Using a VM, I want to launch a live image of an OS and install that OS on my machine's hard-drive, not on a virtual hard-drive.

  • Have you tried to mount raw unallocated partition to the VM? There are tons of tutorial how to mount a physical partition to a VM.

  • The OS is also important. Please add that tag. Installing is one thing. If it will boot when the drive is moved to real hardware is another.
