NOTE: Remember to always run your emulator programs as an Administrator, to allow them to use your real hardware (like bootable disks) with full privileges. Otherwise they might run with limited features or simply fail.
>> View Video Showing VisOpSys Booting Process From USB <<To install VisOpSys into an USB mass storage device, we use iBored to write the image after downloading it:
http://apps.tempel.org/iBored/The VisOpSys USB image contains a partition of only 30 Megabytes so it should fit in all existing USB disks, and it's the best booting option since it contains all programs (around 5 Megabytes) and the rest is free:
http://www.visopsys.org/downloads.htmThen we create a VMDK image with the VirtualBox command-line tools (here the USB device name looks like \\.\PhysicalDrive1, but could be another one, like \\.\PhysicalDrive2, but we can determine it by looking at the name of the disk device we wrote under iBored and use it):
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\vboxmanage.exe" internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename C:\DataTraveler_USB_2GB.vmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive1
Then we create a virtual computer inside VirtualBox, make sure to use the VMDK file we created as the primary bootable hard disk (which is a very small file and only contains the disk metadata to describe it and use it at low level), and then run VisOpSys.
