Let’s note that /home/partimag mounts the target partition, in this case, /dev/sdb1. The following step is to save the hard disk/partition(s) on this machine as an image: On more than one screen, it must show that we’re using savedisk mode: To facilitate the later conversion from Clonezilla to VirtualBox, let’s save the entire disk /dev/sda (and not a single partition). In this case, our target is to save the backup of /dev/sda in the AsusRog-12-img folder, placed in the root of /dev/sdb1. We’ll be asked to set all the parameters before performing the actual backup. We should get the Live Boot menu if all went correctly.As seen in our tutorial, we can run Clonezilla live from its official live distribution, or another live system. We can now complete the setup and boot the VM. We add our Kali Live USB drive and ensure we are set to USB 3.0. Now we navigate to ‘USB’ and we select the USB icon with the green plus. Next under ‘Processor’ in ‘System’ we will be increasing the processor amount to 2. Under ‘Motherboard’ in ‘System’ we will be enabling EFI. This will ask for confirmation, confirm it and continue. We want to be sure to not create a virtual hard disk. We can continue forward selecting 2GB of memory.

We can name it whatever we want and select ‘Linux’ as the type and ‘Debian (64-bit)’ as the version. Lets start with a fresh opening of VirtualBox.įrom here we will be creating a new VM. We can now continue with USB 2.0/3.0 access. From here we navigate to ‘Extensions’ and select box with a green plus and add the pack.Īfter this we will need to be sure to add our account to the vboxusers group if we are on Linux. After downloading this pack we can launch VirtualBox and select ‘Preferences’ under the ‘File’ tab. To get started we first will need to download the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.
