Thanks. I read the user manual. I am running virtual box on mac os x with a
ubuntu 9.10 machine installed.
And I tried to use this command:
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /path/to/file.vmdk
-rawdisk /dev/sda -register
But I don't know what is that parameter I should use for
/path/to/file.vmdk and /dev/sda?
And when I plug in my external hard drive, I now see 3 icons said
'disk1s1' 'disk1s3' 'disk1s4'.
