I'm trying to virtual my Win10 installation from my HDD within ubuntu (15.04).
What I've managed so far - I created a HDD file for virtual box that is set to my win drive (/dev/sdb2). The VM loads and hangs on boot (the pointer is just flashing).
Any ideas? Another issue - everytime I log to ubuntu I need to change the premissions of /dev/sdb2 so Vbox can load, and ideas on this?
Cheers
Windows won't boot on other hardware easily like linux does.
What you did is use the windows harddrive in a virtual machine - changing the whole hardware from window's point of view.
You could however make an install in virtualbox and use the raw-harddrive-partition instead of a virtual disk file, but then the installed windows would not be able to start natively without virtualbox.
