What follows is somewhat of a hack to install a VirtualBox virtual machine from an '''Usb''' stick instead of a '''Dvd''' or '''Iso''' image. An Usb install is impossible per se as '''the VirtualBox Bios does not support booting from an Usb device'''. A "lack" that limits user options when installing as well as when the machine is in need of a rescue system to solve operating system repair.

This limitation can however be circumvented by mean of a VirtualBox less known functionality. VirtualBox can run a machine from a physical disk or disk partition instead of an image file with *.vdi extension. This feature goes by the name of ''“raw hard disk access”'' whose details can be found in the emulator manual.
