Comment on Running Bootcamp using VirtualBox [Updated 2011-08-04 for OS X Lion] by Raja

I followed the instructions to create the raw partition (I run OSX Lion – so it is partition s4) and vmdk is created successfully. When I create a new VM in VB and select the bootcamp.vmdk – the disk size is shown as 698.64 GB! The bootcamp partition is only 90.81 GB. I was nervous to proceed, so cancelled out of it. Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi,
I have gone through all the steps and setup virtualbox to run my bootcamp partition. I am using Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8. When I go to start bootcamp I get this error:
Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.
Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.
Please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.

I’m not exactly sure what I should do to run bootcamp.

Garrett,

I had the same problem in 10.7 but can confirm droid’s answer is correct in the later versions of OS X.

Thanks for the initial post!

You’re neat. I love you. Graph paper makes me happy. I just had a frontal lumpectomy. Still love graph paper. Sigh.

This is fantastic! Would be absolutely amazing if it were iPad accessible from a web page to, I’m sure many people would use it on a day to day basis on their iPad, I know I definitely would!
Thank you for the great work

When I follow the steps, and use the 2nd AppleScript script – using 3 instead of 4 ( I’m on Snow Leopard ), I get this message from AppleScript:
VBoxManage: error: Could not find a registered machine named ‘bootcamp.vmdk’
VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001), component VirtualBox, interface IVirtualBox, callee nsISupports
Context: “FindMachine(Bstr(pszVM).raw(), machine.asOutParam())” at line 544 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp

Did I do something wrong?

TIA – Vijay
