Using a physical disk as a VirtualBox drive in Windows 10

The solution is similar as in Windows 7. To add a drive you have to type command (single line):

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" 
internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename 
"C:\Users\jaqb\SP900.vmdk" -rawdisk "\\.\PhysicalDrive1"

The VirutalBox also have to be run as privileged user (administrator).
