| I found a way to install the ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386.img file into VirtualBox. Here are the steps. | |
| 1. Run the command to create a bootable VDI image (without quotes): | |
| “VBoxManage convertfromraw ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386.img ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386-live.vdi” | |
| 2. Run the command to create a new empty VDI image where to install the image with 8GB space: | |
| “VBoxManage createhd -filename ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386.vdi -size 8000″ | |
| Note: you can use -register option at the end of this command or register this VDI file from the VirtualBox later. | |
| 3. Create a new VM using the ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386-live.vdi (use the existing vdi option) | |
| 4. Attach the ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386.vdi as a Primary Slave | |
| 5. Start the VM (boot) | |
| 6. Install | |
| note: Install will automatically install into the Primary Slave drive. | |
| 7. Shutdown the VM | |
| 8. Remove the ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386-live.vdi from the VM setting, and make the ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386.vdi as the Primary Master. | |
| 9. Restart the VM | |
| 10. Enjoy! | |
| Let me know how it goes. |
Hi kfl62, I'm confronted to this task : create a VM with a .img file on VirtualBox, I try your advices but for me it's not done ! Can you help me ?
@mtth23, try these steps but replace ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386.img with the name of your IMG, and ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386-live.vdi with the name of the VDI hard disk you would like to create.
