Comment on Sharing Windows 7 between Boot Camp and VirtualBox by Danny O'Brian

I was having trouble booting a 64bit Bootcamp install with VIrtualbox. It was stuck in a reboot loop and kept saying a recent hardware change may have caused the problem.

Then I changed to the number of processors in use by the VM at:

Settings->System->Processor

To match the number of cores on my iMac, Bingo! booted just fine.

To sum my latest findings please note, that the size of the hard drive seen in VirtualBox _must_ be the real size of the _complete_ hard drive, and not the size of the the single bootcamp partition.

So even if your setup may look like a 120 GB SSD (decimal notation) of which let’s say 30 GB Bootcamp, 90 GB OS X are allocated, creating the ‘vmdk’ file will show up in VirtualBox with a size of approx 112 GB (binary notation), so to speak the complete hard disk.

Despite of that, VirtualBox will only be able to access the single Bootcamp partition (the one given by the ‘–partions __n__’ statement).

I checked back at my VirtualBox. Indeed, the VMDK file shows up with the full size of the HARDDRIVE and not the partition.
After some reading I found that the VMDK raw partition access limits access to a certain partition (or multiple partitions if instructed so), BUT it will always refer to the whole disk in terms of geometry and some other meta data.
This is why the size of the hard drive is shown, and not the partition size.

In my case (I have a 120 Gig SSD installed) it reads “bootcamp.vmdk (normal, 111.79 GB)”

So if your harddrive is some 750 Gig in size, which would essentially translate to some 697 Gigs in binary byte calculation, then it should be all fine.

So please ignore my previos statement, I was in error there.
