====== Zenteknix Technical Information: VirtualBox  ======

===== Virtual Disk Management =====
A disk image created with the ''dd'' command like this: ''dd if=/dev/sdx of=dskimg.raw bs=512'' \\

... can be converted directly into a VirtualBox VDI ("virtual disk image") with:
<code>VBoxManage convertdd dskimg.raw yourvmname-sda.vdi --format VDI</code>

A raw disk image can also be converted to a KVM qcow2 image:
<code>qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 /path/to/your/hdd/vm01.img /path/to/your/hdd/vm01.qcow2</code>
