VBox+Ubuntu 22.04 - Access media from Windows Host - geebx - 2024-05-01
Add media from Windows host.
1.) Restart Windows (Host) and do not launch VirtualBox
2.) Run "Command Prompt/Terminal/PowerShell" as Administrator
3.) Change directory to VirtualBox program files: cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"
4.) Command: Get-PhysicalDisk
5.) Decide and choose which disk you want to use by number (left/first column)
6.) [Sample] Run Command: .\VBoxManage.exe internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "C:\RAW-Disk\ssd.vmdk" -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0
- "C:\RAW-Disk\ssd.vmdk" <- save location
- PhysicalDrive0 <- I chose disk 0
7.) Launch VirtualBox as Administrator
8.) On your VM instance Settings, go to Storage, add hard disk and select "ssd.vdmk" (the disk you created in Step #6)
9.) Start up Ubuntu VM
10.) Command: sudo fdisk -l
11.) Find the "ssd.vdmk" (in this example, mine's /dev/sdb2)
12.) Command: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/windows-disk (you can name it to whatever)
13.) Command: sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/windows-disk
Access Jellyfin web interface, add library, browse your media folder on Windows.
