virtualbox 从硬盘启动虚拟机

1.在windows中，从virtualbox启动linux，我的环境是（xp，ubuntu）

运行cmd

wmic /output:d:\diskdrive.html diskdrive list /format:htable 查看PhysicalDrive0中的序号

cd /d C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox

VBoxManage internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk "\\.\PhysicalDrive0" // 查看linux使用的分区，0为硬盘序号，根据实际情况而定。

VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "D:\linux_hd.vmdk" -rawdisk "\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0" -partitions
6,7 // partitions 是linux使用的分区

virtualbox创建虚拟机时使用D:\linux_hd.vmdk文件。不出意外就可以了。

2.在linux中，从virtualbox启动windows，我的环境是（ubuntu，xp）

所有windows硬盘分区的读写权限

sudo chmod 666 /dev/sda1

sudo vboxmanage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /opt/rawdisk.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -relative

virtualbox创建虚拟机时使用/opt/rawdisk.vmdk文件。

虚拟机创建好，先不要启动，修改配置文件xp.vbox //xp为创建虚拟机的名称

可使用内容如下的脚本文件
