You have to read some more in chapter: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#rawdisk There it says: " The numbers for the list of partitions can be taken from the output of VBoxManage internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk /dev/sda " Just above that, it says: On a Windows host, instead of the above device specification, use e.g. \\.\PhysicalDrive0. So, you get (for the first harddisk in your system): VBoxManage internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0 And for the second harddisk in your system: VBoxManage internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive1 Notes: 1) Enter on the prompt in a CMD window 2) The command may need administrative privileges, so you have to run CMD as admin. 3) Set your PATH: set PATH="D:\bin\vm\VBox";%PATH% 4) Commands have to be given on one line. Here they are wrapped by email. HTH -- ( Kees Nuyt ) c[_] _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
