I have a portable 60gb laptop ide drive in an external travel enclosure. The first partition on the drive is a 100mb fat32 partition that has syslinux-4.03 installed.
If I reboot my laptop it boots from this device just fine. But I want to test my syslinux configuration files inside a vm without having to reboot my laptop, I followed the instructions posted at http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-a-usb-flash-drive-in-virtualbox/ to create a raw disk vmdk file. Command completed successfully. I then modified an existing vm to boot from the raw disk vmdk file instead of the drive file. I turned off the usb filter so that it would not try to mount the device twice. and I booted the vm and I get an error message from the vbox bios that states "Missing Operating System" Because I know it works on a physical machine, I know its not the drive. Any hints about what I might have done wrong? I'm running VBox 4.0.4 on a windows 7 64bit host.
