In the Storage Tree select the Empty optical disk.ĥ. If you wish to go with the first option just continue on with these instructions, or if you want to go with the second option, go down to FORK 2.Ĥ. Now that you have got this far there are two ways of continuing, you may either add the Live Image as a new optical drive, or you may just link it up to the current Empty slot. Select the VM you want to boot into with the Live Image. Last edited by lammert-nijhof September 2nd, 2017 at 12:23 AM.1. For a dual boot with windows, it is easier to install Ubuntu first and to replace it with that partition image directly after the install, if you are really that fond on it. For the last one use 'find and replace' of gedit and replace 'hd0,msdos1' everywhere with in my example 'hd0,msdos3'. sda3 After that you have to run grub-install and update-grub and you might have to adapt /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/nfig manually. If you want to restore the OS on another partition as sda1, it gets more complicated You will have to create the disk image of the partition itself and restore that to e.g. There are some good descriptions, how to 'remove guest additions', if you google for it. I did not remove non essential devices and I did not remove the guest additions in my case. If needed, you could also remove the guest additions, but that is command line job. You could remove all non-essential devices for network, sound, USB etc. Afterward you can use gparted to change the partition size and to create additional partitions, if needed.īefore creating the disk-image, first make sure that your VM set-up is as equal to the HW machine as possible, especially go back to video without 3D support and look at IDE/SATA choices. I used the Disks Utility of a life-ISO image to restore that disk image to the physical sda drive. You will have to attach the drive temporarily to another VM (or you have to clone the VM), because you can't create an image involving an active OS. I used the Disks Utility of the Virtual Machine to create a disk image of the sda drive.
