Using a physical disk as a VirtualBox drive on Windows host
To list your hard drives you can use command:
wmic diskdrive list brief /format:list
...
I just found that I've wrote similar article some times ago:
I've tried to install virtual Linux on my second HDD (using optical bay adapter). To add physical drive you have to type command:
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" \ internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename \ "C:\Users\jaqb\SP900.vmdk" -rawdisk "\\.\PhysicalDrive1"
(based on Using a raw disk as a VirtualBox drive in Windows 7 by Dan Fox) In my case I've to add full path to VBoxManage.
Then to install additional packages in CentOS 7 (using minimal installation) you have to manually enter full URL:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/
