I use Virtualbox with as host Windows XP. I want to configure a raw disk access within virtualbox. The procedure is described in the manual but we need to mention the physical drive this way: \\.\PhysicalDrive<n> . However the way windows number the hard disk is not something permanent. Especially for hotpluggable device, what Windows considers as the physical drive <n> depends of what you have plugged. Is it possible to make a raw disk access that always refer to the same physical disk, independent of the number Windows has attached to it?
It is for accessing a USB drive. The alternative is to enable a USB filter and you it as a USB disk from within the guest system. But I always had some trouble doing this; I would prefer the first method.
