Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

I am trying to get VirtualBox to boot up my Bootcamp Partition. Does anyone know why I'm getting the error "VBoxManage: error: Cannot read the partition information from '/dev/disk0'"?

What I typed into terminal

WinXPmbp manila$ chmod 777 /dev/disk0 /dev/disk0s4
WinXPmbp manila$ sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -rawdisk /dev/disk0 -filename "/Users/home/VirtualBox/WinXPMBP/bootcamp.vmdk" -partitions 4
Password:
VBoxManage: error: Cannot read the partition information from '/dev/disk0'
VBoxManage: error: The raw disk vmdk file was not created
