A number of ways. The way I've done it: 0) install ssh server on host computer, if not already installed 1) attach external USB HDD to host computer 2) boot VM from ISO of Ubuntu 3) dd virtual drive out of host's USB device via ssh. For example:
dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=16k | ssh [email protected] 'dd of=/dev/sdb1 bs=16' 4) install grub from host machine. Could also be done via ssh from VM. I use ssh because USB support is not in the OSE version of Virtual Box. I think there is also a tool in the QEMU package that can convert a VDI or VMDK into a raw image, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
