BootcampOverVirtualBox

Run Bootcamp windows as virtual machine in VirtualBox

Caution: This script is he first version which is experimental period for now.

What it does:

  1. download VirtualBox packages to local and install
  2. Find the correct BootCamp disk
  3. Create a VM with all the parameters setup

For users:

setup your windows (for now, this script assumes it's Windos 7) in BootCamp first. make sure Windows 7 can be loaded and all BootCamp drivers are installed properly.

Command options explain:

  1. Must provide BootCamp partition name, the original is BOOTCAMP if it wasn't changed.
  2. If VirutalBox is already downloaded, add -d option.
  3. If you want to keep the current installed VirutalBox version, add -i option to skip installation.
  4. verbo mode, sure for debug.
  5. 2nd step, this provide a extra step to change IDE to SATA so for a good performance in VB.
