2. Boot a Linux USB installation in VirtualBox

I'll show you how to boot into a Linux installation on USB drive in VirtualBox. VB does not normally allow you to boot from a USB, but some command line tricks will get you there.

For instructions on how to do this: https://www.howtogeek.com/187721/how-to-boot-from-a-usb-drive-in-virtualbox/

The commands to use in a Windows host command prompt are: cd %programfiles%\Oracle\VirtualBox VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename C:\usb.vmdk -rawdisk \.\PhysicalDrive# (replacing the # at the end with the disk number of your USB drive in Disk Management)

The commands to use in a Linux host terminal are: sudo fdisk -l lsblk vboxmanage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename ~/usb.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdx (replacing sdx with your actual drive letter)

You can also do the same in a MacOS host terminal using similar commands (not shown in the video): diskutil list diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk# (replacing # with the disk number of your USB drive) sudo vboxmanage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename ~/usb.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/disk# (again replacing # with your actual disk number) Then run VirtualBox as root with: sudo virtualbox
