![]() So my question is - given a raw image of a partition, what do I need to do to create a bootable drive in Virtualbox? I no longer have access to the raw partition or drive. ![]() I think (know) it is because I only pulled an image of the partition and not the drive, so there is no partition table or boot record. In diskpart I can't even select the partition, and it won't mount in a Linux live OS. I've tried the standard Windows boot recovery options but they have not been successful. Now, when I create a Virtualbox machine I can attach the drive but it will not boot. I used dd to create an image of the partition, not the entire disk. I'd previously been able to boot the raw partition within the host (Mac OS X). I have been trying to convert a Windows 7 partition to a VDI so I could boot it in Virtualbox and remove the partition.
