Hello. I have come from Windows 7 -> Qubes OS 2 days ago. I have read the docs, I understand that there is issues accessing partitions from within a stand alone windows 7 VM (qvm-block).
When installing Qubes it asked to reclaim space, I said yes. I need the security that Qubes offers me, so I have decided to migrate 100% to Qubes OS. I now want Qubes to reclaim all of the NTFS partitions I have. Is there any way I can backup my existing data (NTFS partitions) -> into Qubes partition, then tell Qubes to claim the partitions? Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 1026047 1024000 500M 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1026048 126033919 125007872 59.6G 83 Linux /dev/sda3 126035928 321672959 195637032 93.3G f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 126035932 130226175 4190244 2G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda6 136521652 157507583 20985932 10G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda7 160208896 191666175 31457280 15G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda8 199436188 230891519 31455332 15G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda9 241854464 252354559 10500096 5G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT I want to copy everything from (sda5, sda6, sda7, sda8 and sda9) to Qubes. I apologize if I'm asking a basic question. I am figuring this out as I go along. If anyone can explain those partitions to me I would appreciate it. By the way, I have installed GParted into my TemplateVM (debian-8), and can access it in PersonalVM now. If there is a way to access these partitions from Windows 7 VM then can someone let me know. I have tried, I followed all the docs, and instructions but from what I think some of you said it isn't a good idea (BSOD, data corruption).
