VirtualBox "createrawvmdk"

Ok, bare with me here. I have always thought about switching over, but have been lazy until my windows HDD decided it wouldn't boot after a recovery to an earlier date :\. anyways screw it i decided to use Ubuntu live CD to play around and recover some data, which i was able to do with ease! However i wanted to see if i could take this step further and use VMBOX to load Windows and run Chkdsk -f on the drive to see if it could fix the bad sectors. (i have already tried ntfs-progs, etc) this is my final attempt before i wipe my drive, still missing some things, so i figured I would ask for help.

I found this site http://www.serverwatch.com/server-tu...ualbox-vm.html

However that dang VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk does not work at all! Says invalid command. I have googled my little fingers off for the past 13 hours and have found nothing other than a few things about using a closed source VMBox or whatever.

Is that "createrawvmdk" command obsolete or something?


Any help in any direction would be great.
