Yes, you can only convert full disk images (not individual partitions) to VDI. The whole thing is a bit more complicated actually. The size 0 error is due to vditool not being able to read directly from a device. vditool can only convert from a raw image file to a VDI file. So you have to create a full raw disk image file first. Will be better in 1.4 (no need to download vditool, the conversion is part of VBoxManage then, and if you specify the size it can read directly from a device). Also 1.4 will support raw disk/raw partition access (which is of course much more dangerous, as it directly modifies the host disk). -- Klaus Espenlaub InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH, http://www.innotek.de _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
