Opening a VMDK file (Virtual Machine Disk, is a file format used for virtual appliances developed for VMware products) in Oracle VirtualBox is ridiculously simple! But when googled for this method I was surprised to find that there were no tutorials explaining this simple procedure. All of them wanted me to convert the .vmdk file to a .vdi file. To put it words you “You Just Need to Run it”.There is how it is….

For a reference, VMDK is as an abbreviation for Virtual Machine Disk, - it’s a format of the file, which is applied for virtual applications designed for VMware products. Despite the following methodic is described in many tutorials, actually in order to open VMDK file on VirtualBox you don’t need to convert it into a VDI-file object. So, just to somehow create an additional vmdk-metafile, that references the raw dd-image. Yes, it's possible. Here's how to use a flat disk image in VirtualBox: First you create an image with dd in the usual way: dd bs=512 count=60000 if=/dev/zero of=usbdrv.img Then you can create a file for VirtualBox that references this image.

Vmdk

I was recently wanting to convert all of my old hard drives from old computers to VMDKs so that I could run the drive virtually in VMware, but I couldn’t find a way to do it so that’s why I’m writing this now. Most other guides would use Disk2vhd and use Hyper-V but most people don’t have a pro version of Windows to use that or some guides would say to use VMware vCenter Converter but. This tutorial helps you to convert a VDI disk to VMDK disk using VirtualBox VBoxManage command. VBoxManage – Convert VDI to VMDK Before starting work in this tutorial make sure to detach vdi disk from VirtualMachine. Windows Users can use the following command to change UUID of D: NewVM myDisk1.vdi disk. C: cd 'C: Program Files Oracle VirtualBox ' c: VBoxManage.

  1. In the VirtualBox Manager click the New button to create a new virtual machine.
  2. Input the name of your virtual machine and select the OS you would like to have. I selected Linux and Debian as I will be running a Turnkey Linux VMDK
  3. Set the amount of memory you would like to have for the VM.
  4. Now you will be prompted to create a virtual hard disk. This is an important step in running your .vmdk file. Select the option ‘Use existing hard disk’ and click the “Choose a virtual hard disk file ….’ button.
  5. In the file selection window that opens up browse and select the .vmdk file you wish to open.
  6. Click Open.
  7. Now the ‘Use existing hard disk’ option will have the .vmdk file you selected. Click Next.
  8. Click ‘Create’ to finish the process.
  9. Now your VirtualBox Manager will have the new virtual machine listed. Click ‘Start’ to run the VM.

Please let me know if this method worked for.

I was recently wanting to convert all of my old hard drives from old computers to VMDKs so that I could run the drive virtually in VMware, but I couldn’t find a way to do it so that’s why I’m writing this now. Most other guides would use Disk2vhd and use Hyper-V but most people don’t have a pro version of Windows to use that or some guides would say to use VMware vCenter Converter but the physical machine has to be running and I only have the hard drive so I can’t use that. Then I found StarWind V2V Converter which can convert a VHD (and VHDX) file from Disk2vhd and that’s what this guide is going to use.

Stuff to get beforehand

  • Download Disk2vhd and StarWind V2V Converter (or click this link to download StarWind V2V Converter without giving your info away).
  • Buy a SATA (or IDE) to USB adapter to easily connect the old hard drive to your computer.

Steps

UPDATE

(12/05/2018): I’ve recently found Vmdk2Phys which is still in beta (and doesn’t look the best) but is more straightforward then following the guide below. Vmdk2Phys also supports converting VMDKs to physical drives.

  1. Open Disk2vhd and untick all volumes except the one you want to virtualize and pick a location to output the file to, then click the ‘Create’ button. It will take a while to finish depending on the size and speed of your drive.
  2. Once Disk2vhd finishes open StarWind V2V Converter select ‘Local file’ and click ‘Next >’ when it asks for the ‘Source image location’
  3. Select the ‘Source image’ then click ‘Next >’
  4. Select the format you want to convert to (the 1st and 3rd option are probably the most compatible option with VMware Workstation Player)
  5. Select the ‘Virtual disk type’ (Select the one most compatible with the windows installation eg. IDE for Windows XP)
  6. Set your destination file location then click ‘Next >’
  7. Run the converted file in VMware Workstation Player
