Boot Camp is a go-to method for Mac aficionados because it is already a part of macOS. The use of the utility allows dedicating a chunk of hard drive space to Windows, thereby allowing a Mac to function as a PC. The following is the list of Boot Camp’s pros: Full access to CPU-intensive programs such as 3D games or video editing tools. Mar 30, 2013 I’ve had a BootCamp partition on my Macbook since it bought it; I waited specifically for the Intel CoreDuo Macbooks. Sometimes I don’t want to restart just to run an app or test something out, so developed this bash script to boot it using Virtual Box. VirtualBox is an extremely powerful virtualisation platform that is amazingly free. The first option is to enable the HiDPI support under VirtualBox Settings Display, check “Use Unscaled HiDPI Output” and leave the Scale Factor 100%. This will result in Windows to startup with a screen resolution of 2880×1800 pixel on a 13-inch MacBook Pro. As a result, everything in Windows will appear much smaller than a regular.
Some notes on how I got VirtualBox to boot from my Windows 10 Boot Camp drive. This will let you share a Windows install between Boot Camp and VirtualBox.
Things I installed
- Windows 10 x64 using the OS X Boot Camp assistant
- VirtualBox 5.0.10 (version I installed was
VirtualBox-5.0.10-104061-OSX) - Accompanying VirtualBox extensions (
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.10-104061.vbox-extpack). I’m not really sure if I needed this, but installed it anyway.
Disabling SIP
I had to disable System Integrity Protection on El Capitan (OS X 10.11) to get this to work.
Setting drive permissions
Firstly, run diskutil list to get a list of drives on your system. Take a note of the drive number of the drive named EFI and the other one named BOOTCAMP. (The BOOTCAMP drive might have a different name depending on what you’ve called it). In my case, the EFI drive was 1 and the BOOTCAMP drive was 4.
Now run the following to unmount your Bootcamp drive and set permissions so that VirtualBox can access the drive. You’ll need to perform this each time you reboot.
Creating the VirtualBox image
Run the following commands to create a VirtualBox disk image wrapper for your HD. Substitute the 1,4 with the numbers of your EFI and BOOTCAMP partitions as appropriate and put your OS X username in for your_username_here.
Creating the VM
Finally, set up VirtualBox as indicated in the following screenshots, and you should now be able to run your Windows 10 install.
The following article covers the process of converting a physical Windows computer into a VirtualBox virtual machine image in 3 easy to follow steps. Once done, physical Windows computer can be opened as a virtual machine by using Oracle VM VirtualBox.
Requirements
Download Disk2vhd from Windows Sysinternals, at following URL: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/disk2vhd or directly from this url: https://download.sysinternals.com/files/Disk2vhd.zip
STEP 1
First, we need to login onto a physical Windows machine that we are planning to clone.
Download the Disk2vhd.zip, once it is downloaded and unzipped, you’ll see the following files:
STEP 2
The next step is to use disk2vhd.exe to create VHD Image of a physical Windows machine.
Right click on disk2vhd.exe and run it as administrator. The following box will pop up:
- Select the drives you want to image
- Make sure you don’t check ‘use Vhdx’, nor ‘Use Volume Shadow Copy’
- Select the path where VHD file will be saved
- Press ‘Create’ button
Virtualbox Bootcampを
Once done, you’ll see VHD file created on your hard drive:
STEP 3
The next step is to open Oracle VM Virtual Box manager and create a new Windows machine (in my case it was Windows 7).
The important part is that when it comes to creating a new Hard Disk, instead of creating a new virtual drive, we’ll use the VHD file we have created using Disk2vhd.
The following screenshot illustrates the process:
Virtualbox Bootcamp Partition
Once done, you’ll see the new VM in your VirtualBox Manager. You can press start and it’ll load. By pressing the start button, the virtual copy of your physical machine will load:

I hope this helped.
