Task

To make my dual boot eeepc work both Debian Squeeze and XP from either boot option using virtualbox ( aka vbox ).

Get both OS's connected through Nokia n900 mobile gprs connection using Nokia PCSuite or ?OviSuite over USB.

Create 2 small virtual machines to run Wheezy and Sid for the purposes of testing.

Specific software used -

in XP - ext3fsd (to see ext partitions), virtualbox, explorer filemanager(beware of refreshing), Nokia PCSuite.

in Debian - fdisk, dd, rsync, virtualbox-ose, grub2

Using XP's partition labels the setup started out like this -

C is native XP

D is debian /

E is Debian /home (with about 30Gbs empty space for working)

F is SDcard in slot

G is USB stick (mine is 4Gbs)

Make a grubrescue.iso

Copy D:/* + E:/jpinx (only .files and .dirs and Desktop) to 4Gb USBstick

In XP make a .vmdk for the debian partition - see commands below.

In Vbox control, share USB stick before booting debian vbox

Mount usbstick in debian vbox to check size and contents

dd usb stick to drive E $>dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=squeeze.iso

in native XP vbox control, convert E:squeeze.iso to E:wheezy-vbox.vdi - see commands below

start a vm called wheezy.vbox using new wheezy-vbox.vdi with grub-rescue to boot, configure grub and upgrade to wheezy

Clone E:/wheezy.vdi to E:/sid.vdi - see commands below -- start and upgrade to sid.

Make .vmdk for XP native partition - see commands below

in Debian, run XP VM and try internet connection

experiment with copying and/or renaming .vdi and .vmdk files

files created for vbox to use...

grubrescue.iso

wheezy-vbox.vdi

xp-vbox.vmdk

sid-vbox.vdi

debian-vbox.vmdk

vbox commands on XP commandline -

XP commandline>cd C:\Archivos de programa\Oracle\VirtualBox

C:\Archivos de programa\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk \\.\?PhysicalDrive0

C:\Archivos de programa\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename E:\debian-vbox.vmdk -rawdisk \\.\physicaldrive0 -partitions5,7

C:\Archivos de programa\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage convertfromraw E:squeeze.iso E:wheezy-vbox.vdi
