Description

Using Windows XP host, I was unable to create a raw vmdk for my existing linux partition.

WinXP resides in \\.\PhysicalDrive?0 partition 1, and Linux resides in \\.\PhysicalDrive?1 partitions 1,5 (main, swap).

"VBoxManage.exe internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive?1" output: Number Type StartCHS EndCHS Size (MiB) Start (Sect) 1 0x83 0 /1 /1 1023/254/63 14307 63 5 0x82 1023/254/63 1023/254/63 956 29302623 3 0x07 1023/0 /1 1023/254/63 289977 31262490

The command used to create the raw vmdk: "VBoxManage.exe internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename c:\ubuntu1.vmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive?1 -partitions 1,5"

Output:

ERROR: VMDK: could not create new partition data file 'c:\ubuntu1-pt.vmdk' Error code VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION at E:\vbox\1.5-w32-rel\src\VBox\Devices\Storag e\VmdkHDDCore.cpp(2224) in function vmdkCreateImage Error while creating the raw disk VMDK: VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION

Exactly the same problem here, although I am a complete newbie with this, I had encountered exactly the same error message.

Forgot to mention, I was also trying to make a vmdk to use 2 partitions, one is ext3 the other swap.

I has the same error.

Host is windows2000server,I want to mount a ext3 partition and a swap partition.

I have the same problem. I upgraded to version 1.5.4 but the problem remains the same. Host is Windows XP Home.

I confirm this problem. Tried create vmdk file for Linux partitions (reiserfs and swap): 

E:\Program Files\innotek VirtualBox>VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename F:\LIN.vmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0 -partitions 9,11 -register
