I changed the permissions to EVERYONE on the Physical Drive which is being loaded as a referenced VMDK from the pointer file I created in CMD prompt. The following steps are what i did to create the VMDK pointer file. 1. I used the following command to get into VirtualBox Folder. ( cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox ) 2. Then I ran the following command in command prompt as an Administrator ( VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "C:\Users\BlueAcePwNAgE\VirtualBox VMs\2014Lpatop\[login to view URL]" -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive2 ) 3. I changed the permissions on the External Physical Drive to EVERYONE and took ownership of it. 4. Some of the files in the PhysicalDrive gave errors and did not transfer ownership correctly. I have attatched photos so you can see yourself. 5. Made sure to run VirtualBox as an Administrator. 6. Loaded up the VMDK pointer file I made as the storage file. Now i get the error FATAL: No bottable medium found! System halted. Can someone please help me fix this issue? I would really like to load up my Windows 7 machine. PS... I believe i had a GRUB menu installed on it and this might be causing the issue.
