So I tried using the whole disk with VirtualBox. The GRUB boot screen shows up, I can downarrow to the Windows line. On hitting ENTER, I see the GRUB commands:
It is quite dangerous this way... you could make a mistake and enter Linux again, mounting an already mounted filesystem and writing there.
rootnoverify (hd0,6) chainloader (hd0,0)+1
Then the error message:
A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
A couple of things occur to me. The GRUB menu was set up back in the day when the hard disk was /dev/hda, now it is /dev/sda. Do I need to change the GRUB settings? And is there any docs on how to discover disks, partitions, etc. from GRUB within VirtualBox.
I wonder if you could create another virtual disk, which contained grub, and this grub boots the "real" one, pointing to the windows partition. This is, of course, a wild idea, I do not know if it can work or if somebody tried. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
