I have Debian Linux and Win7 installed on the one machine with grub loader and I need to load Windows 7 from partition with Virtual Box. Here my partiotions:
# VBoxManage internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk /dev/sda
Number Type StartCHS EndCHS Size (MiB) Start (Sect)
1 0x07 0 /32 /33 12 /223/19 100 2048
5 0x83 13 /0 /52 37 /57 /20 190 208896
6 0x82 37 /89 /53 1023/254/63 61034 600064
7 0x83 1023/254/63 1023/254/63 554073 125599744
3 0x07 1023/254/63 1023/254/63 338467 1260341248 <--- here Win7
I tryed to follow this guied http://theunixtips.com/virtualbox-use-raw-disk-to-load-windows-under-linux/ (corresponds to official docs https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk)
And make:
# install-mbr --force win.mbr
# VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /path/win.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -partitions 3 -relative -mbr win.mbr
Then I create virtual box machine from exiting win.vmdk file boot and I see:
MBR 1FA:
I press 'A', then '3' (number of partition) and I see:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I have SATA controller for disk.
Please, any help!
