Thread: Creating a.virtual disk

Virtualbox operating systems are stored in virtual disks that are the form of large files. All the operating systems installed go into that file. Technically, you should be able to access these drives on a Virtualbox installation anywhere. In our case, our Virtualbox installation will be carried with the disk images.

To create a virtual disk, click on File > Virtual Media Manager. If you install several operating systems on Virtualbox, this view will show all of the disks in your Virtualbox. Click on New, then follow the wizard. On the second step, you'll be prompted to choose the kind of image.

If you choose fixed-size storage, then you'll be fixing This is a good option if you don't want any more space to be used up by your virtual operating system. However, if you have a small drive and don't want to allot that much space in one go, then the option Dynamically expanding storage option should be used. As space in the virtual OS drops, more space will be alloted by Virtualbox.
