Usar una partición real en VirtualBox VirtualBox nos permite trabajar con discos duros virtuales, que no son más que ficheros donde se guarda toda la información que albergaría un disco real. Pero también nos permite trabajar con discos y particiones reales. De esta manera, desde nuestro Debian, podemos estar trabajando con otro sistema que esté realmente instalado en nuestra máquina, sin necesidad de reiniciar el pc y abandonar nuestro sistema operativo favorito. Para ello, solo hay que seguir tres sencillos pasos, que empiezan por crear el fichero .vmdk que le servirá a VirtualBox como referencia de los datos. VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /ruta/donde/guardar/el/fichero/fichero.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdX -relative Con /ruta/donde/guardar/el/fichero indicamos donde queremos crear el fichero que vamos a crear, y con fichero.vmdk indicamos el nombre del fichero, que puede ser cualquiera. chmod 660 fichero.vmdk o los permisos que le quieran dar

There are 2 steps to doing this... 1. Use the VBoxManage command line tool to extend the size of the Virtual Disk, specifying the path to the disk and the size in MB: VBoxManage modifyhd <uuid>|<filename> [--resize <megabytes>|--resizebyte <bytes>] If you booted up your guest at this point, the extra space is seen as an unformatted area on the disk, like this: So we now need to tell the guest about the extra space available. 2. How you do this step depends on your guest OS type and the tools you have available. Linux guests often include the excellent gparted partition editor, whereas Windows 7 and 8 provide the Computer Management tool which can resize partitions. Unfortunately, with Windows XP the Computer Management tool couldn't do this. At least until the next time

Android.AppStorm | Android App Reviews, Roundups & How-Tos Walkthrough: Deploy a Virtual Hard Disk for Native Boot Published: October 22, 2009 Updated: July 8, 2010 Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 This walkthrough describes how to create and configure a virtual hard disk (VHD) running Windows® 7 for native boot. A native-boot VHD is a virtual hard disk that can be used as the running operating system on designated hardware without any other parent operating system. This is in contrast to a scenario where a VHD is connected to a virtual machine on a computer with a parent operating system. In this release, VHDs can be applied to computers that have no other installations of Windows, for usage as a native-boot VHD, without a virtual machine or hypervisor. Prerequisites To complete this walkthrough, you need the following: Step 1: Create a VHD Step 2: Apply a Windows 7 image Use ImageX to apply the .wim file to the primary partition of the VHD. Step 3: Clean and partition the destination computer Boot the destination computer with your bootable Windows PE media. Next Steps See Also
