One might think that, but it made a clone of the actual data. Step 7 created a ~1 KB image (that merely pointed to the raw disk), but the size of the image created in Step 8 was the size of all of the included partitions, in this case 40 GB. I also know it was a copy because when I boot to my Windows partition, it's different from the VM I created based on it, which I've made changes to. -rw------- 1 root root 40G Feb 4 09:28 windows.vdi -rw------- 1 root root 722 Feb 4 09:11 windows.vmdk
