Linux users sometimes just need to run the Microsoft Office program. But for the sake of several cases, it makes no sense to install it. It's another matter if your computer has two of the most common operating systems: Windows and Linux. Below is a guide for users on how to work with these operating systems at the same time.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have a Windows operating system, then the system must first be configured. To do this, start the console for entering commands as an administrator.
Step 2
Enter cd C: Program FilesSunVirtualBox.
Step 3
Next enter VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename C: file.vmdk -rawdisk \. PhysicalDrive0
Step 4
Now a detailed description of the parameters of the last command: the path where C: Program FilesSunVirtualBox is installed
Step 5
Describe the attached hard drive \. PhysicalDrive0. If Drive is the first, then enter the above command, If the second drive, then you need to enter \. PhysicalDrive1. And, accordingly, further in the same spirit.
Step 6
C: file.vmdk. Here you specify the link to the image of the connected hard disk. Further, all work does not differ from the usual work with virtual disks. The most important difference is that VirtualBox must be run as a system administrator.
Step 7
If you have a VirtualBox program, then it is worth doing the following: run File-Manager of virtual media. You can press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + D.
Step 8
Click the Add button. In the window that appears, find the file.vmdk
Step 9
Now you need to select the virtual computer to which you want to connect the image.
Step 10
Click "Properties"
Step 11
Go to the section "Hard Drives"
Step 12
Click Add. Now in the newly added section, select the file.
