I want to mount a physical HDD (with a Windows 10 installation on it) into a VirtualBox Machine.
My host system is Ubuntu 17.10.
I created a VMDK for the HDD with that command:
sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "/home/user/Desktop/Win10HDD.vmdk" -rawdisk /dev/sda
then I owned the file with
sudo chown user Desktop/Win10HDD.vmdk
and
sudo chmod u+rwx Desktop/Win10HDD.vmdk
and I also did
sudo chmod 666 /dev/sda*
Now, I'm able to mount the VMDK File into a VirtualBox Machine, but when I boot it up, it says:
"FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted."
Does anybody has an idea how to solve this problem?

I don't understand the role ofsudo chmod 666 /dev/sda*
there and it seems inadvisable.

Possibly marginally related (but with the roles reversed: Windows host and Linux guest): Sharing a hardâÂÂdisk partition with a Linux VM on VirtualBox.
