To mount a physical hard disk onto a VirtualBox guest, we need to first create a VMDK configuration file which points to the physical disk, and then attach this VMDK file to the VirtualBox guest.

Since a hard disk behaves sort of like a big file in linux, we can use “dd” to take a copy or image. It is a good idea to zero all free space on the original disk before taking the image.

Now it seems that the link is dead as so often happens, and in this case the information is important enough to resurrect and host here. This is […] Wavosaur has been around forever and is a great tool from the days before. Small, full of features, and if you can believe it, still being updated! Give it a look if you wish.

This is my site of collected links and data I’ve deemed too important (to me) to trust […] This is my links page for the Play-a-Way project. Grow up in happy valley? Yeah, me too. […] Been having trouble checking Gmail with Thunderbird? Here’s why: Source: Thunderbird and Gmail | Thunderbird Help The entire team responsible for this fiasco (the Webb telescope) should be fired from Government work. I give this boondoggle less than 5 years. Way to throw a ton of money away and further pollute our atmosphere for the interests of a very few. Such promise; inexcusably poor execution.

Thanks for giving me the reason to find this method. Source: This PC can’t […] Ran into this problem when I P2V’d my main Win7 box. It had a broken Intel (software) raid on it (Raid1 with the second drive missing). I don’t know if this is why it was bluescreening, as I had used the heck out of this box for many years and it had every driver […] TLDR; Before you make the image!
