Hi,
I am running linux and windows 7 as dualboot.
Since I very rarely use windows I tried to access it by starting it with VirtualBox.
These are the steps I took:
Sadly it won't start and I have no idea why.
I run VirtualBox as sudo since I do not have permission to use the vmdk-file as user (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED)
Last log is this:
From there it won't go further.
I am running linux from the same SSD. Might that be part of the problem?

These are the steps I took:
- Installed VirtualBox
- Entered this code to create a file pointing to my harddrive where sda6 is the partition windows is on:Code:
sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "windows.vmdk" -rawdisk /dev/sda6
- Created new virtual machine with windows.vmdk as source
- Started the machine
Sadly it won't start and I have no idea why.
