Hello all,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to assign a few physical disks to a Ubuntu VM in
VirtualBox 4.2.10 (newest) on a Windows 7 host. I read about it and
saw that it's managed like in VMWare which I use also. The VM
earlier was a VMWare VM so I converted the main disk from vmdk to
vdi. This disk I can assign without problems.<br>
<br>
I already used the physical disks in VMWare so I simply tried to use
the existing VMDK descriptor/pointer files. This fails in VirtualBox
as follows:<br>

So I tried to create the files new with VBoxManage and this fails
with a COM server error as follows:<br>
<br>
C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program
Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internal<br>
commands createrawvmdk -filename "C:\Users\Laukamp\VirtualBox
VMs\Deluge"\deluge<br>
-PHD1.vmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive1<br>
VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object!<br>
VBoxManage.exe: error: Code CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE (0x80080005) -
Server execu<br>
tion failed (extended info not available)<br>
VBoxManage.exe: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not
running or<br>
failed to start.<br>
<br>
The CMD is started with administrative privileges. The VBoxSVC.exe
also is running and I also tried to restart it on CMD to see errors.
No errors appeared it started without problems.<br>
<br>
I also tried to reinstall and tried again but this also gave me no
result. I don't know whether this could be a bug so I post this to
the users and devel list.<br>
<br>
Would be great when someone could help me I don't know how I could
solve this problem.<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
<br>
P.S. Sorry for my bad english.<br>
