Using Virtualbox to read / boot old hard disks directly

Assuming you fit your old HD into an USB reader, e.g. it's on /dev/hdd now:

Create a virtualbox computer without a virtual disk attached. And:
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /root/discodos.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdd
VBoxManage storageattach adoscomputer --storagectl "IDE" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium ./discodos.vmdk

After that, start your virtualbox and it MUST boot from that hard disk.
