    Fatbas**** stop living up to your name and read VB's documentation. It's possible to mount a physical drive or partition. I've done it several times.

    I still want to know why it's not possible to mount physical harddrives from the GUI?

    Kicks the CRAP out of VMWare Workstation in terms of performance and reliability. Within the last few weeks I went on a course where I was required to use VMWare for the virtual facilities used in the course. I was not surprised to see bugs that have existed since 4.x still unresolved in the latest version. By the end of the course I was positively PINING for VirtualBox and was reminded why, despite the occasional foibles I have encountered across various releases, why I chose VirtualBox over the Pig-In-A-Wig garbage that is VMWare.

    Long live this application.

    FIVE stars for continual excellence across multiple platforms (I use it in Windows and Linux).

    Fantastic program but why isn't it possible to mount physical harddrives from the GUI?
