I did some testing on the freedos.img provided in the virtualbox folder in the
ftp directory on ibiblio (IPV4), and it gives errors on everything but .VMDK
"c:\program files\oracle\virtualbox\vboxmanage.exe" internalcommands repairhd
-dry-run -format VMDK freedos.vmdk
so that particular .img should be renamed to .vmdk
there is a virtualbox command you can use to convert your vdi/vmdk/vhd to RAW
and vice versa:
- vboxmanage.exe doesn't know how to autodetect file extensions with multiple
dots in the filename.
should you want to convert to RAW format, I have a batch file:
Fri 01/17/2014 3:51:07.85|D:\os\fdos1.1|>type \u\vbox*cmd
@REM vbox2raw.cmd
@ECHO OFF
IF @%1@==@@ GOTO help
IF @%2@==@@ GOTO help
IF NOT @%3@==@@ GOTO help
"c:\program files\oracle\virtualbox\vboxmanage.exe" internalcommands
converttoraw %1 %2
GOTO end
:help
@ECHO vbox2raw - convert virtualbox hard disk image to raw disk image
@ECHO usage: vbox2raw filein.vdi fileout.raw
GOTO end
:end
@REM vboxraw2vdi.cmd
@ECHO OFF
IF @%1@==@@ GOTO help
IF @%2@==@@ GOTO help

GOTO end
