<nowiki>C:\Users\Mnemo>wmic diskdrive list brief
Caption DeviceID Model Partitions Size
HGST HTS541010A9E680 \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0 HGST HTS541010A9E680 2 1000202273280

SDHC Card \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2 SDHC Card 4 7805790720</nowiki>
* Create VMDK File
C:\Users\rizwan>"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage" internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "c:/Hard Disks/sdcard.vmdk" -rawdisk "\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1"
* Attach RAW Disk to VM
*#Ensure the Guest VM is not running.
*#Ensure VirtualBox is not running
*#Start VirtualBox by right-clicking on it and choosing “Run as administrator”
*#Open the settings area for the guest VM
*#Click on “Storage” in the toolbar
*#Next to the controller click on the icon to “Add Hard Disk”
*#Select “Choose existing disk”
*#Navigate to the c:/Hard Disks/sdcard.vmdk and select it
*#You should now be returned to the Storage tab and see your sdcard.vmdk in the list.
* Start the VM
Depending on whether you have a GUI or not the SD card may or may not automatically mount. If you need to mount is manually it is simply exposed as another standard block device, so on my guest this was exposed as /dev/sdb.
