Check that your image boots before you go any further.It should ask “You are about to add a virtual hard disk to the controller IDE Controller”, pick “Choose existing disk” and browse to the location to which you moved your VDI image (e.g.Then Press the + with the hard drive platters. Press”Storage” on the left-hand side, and under Controller remove the current drive by pressing the red minus.MyLinux which should say “Powered Off” underneath) and press the “Settings” button at the top. Close “Virtual Media Manager”, choose your VirtualBox instance (e.g.Now with the disk selected press “Release” (this should remove the last location).“ MyLinux.vdi“) and press the “Release” button at the top. Under the “Hard drives” tab, choose your disk (e.g.
Start Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager -> choose File-> “Virtual Media Manager”.With VirtualBox shut down, using Windows Explorer move your vdi file (e.g., “ c:\MyLinux.vdi“) to its new location (e.g., “ d:\MyLinux.vdi“).If you need to move the VDI file to another location/physical drive with more space, you can do the following. Please backup everything before continuing as something could always go wrong. The host OS (the one that is running VirtualBox) is Windows 7 and the guest OS that I wish to re-size is Ubuntu. In this example I am using VirtualBox 4.2.6 (The approach is valid with more recent versions also). Also, VirtualBox recommends very small default values, so it is easy to be caught out.Īnyway, here are the current steps to re-size a VirtualBox disk, where Linux is the guest OS and Windows is the host OS. The missing subsections deal with how to connect this new virtual disk to the new virtual machine and set up the UEFI stuff.My Linux VirtualBox guest OS often runs out of space – I never learn that to build anything in Linux, you need about 10 times the amount of space that you think you need. The instructions tell me "In order to boot the virtual machine in UEFI mode, a dedicated virtual disk for the EFI System Partition must be created" and then give me the command for doing that.
The last three subsections, though, are empty. it's incomplete! Going to section 10: Run a Windows partition in VirtualBox, I can find precisely the instructions that I need. I just found a wonderful page on the arch wiki.Įxcept. Following the standard guides and what I did before results in the "no bootable medium" error - so I don't have things set up correctly. I've done this in the past, but the other way around (I ran a physical ubuntu install from within windows). I've been trying to run my Windows 10 install in Virtualbox. I've got a dual-boot laptop with Windows 10 as the other OS this setup is working perfectly.
