Not entirely true, for a while I had my original XP partition booting
in VirtualBox using a raw partition VMDK[1]. I used separate hardware
profiles so I could boot XP natively or in virtual without issue.
well I guess I could quibble that I used the words 'port ...into a
virtual', but that IS really cool: fooling VBox into believing an actual
harddrive partition is a VMDK image! Kudos are due!.
Is the magic posted anywhere? 'Cause there are probably lots of people
who could benefit or who would be interested.
