Virtualizing linux (OpenSuse) from a real partition on Windows 7

Question

linux

Actually, there is an installed and modified OpenSuse. What exactly was modified, I do not know, and I am unlikely to find out. So it's easier for me to somehow copy and virtualize it from the partition. The host OS is Windows 7 x64.
I googled, but could not find a guide for all the steps, from copying a partition to Windows, to virtualization itself. On what program to virtualize, there is no big difference.
Thanks in advance for your answers!

Answer 1

Virtual box can work with real partitions. The instructions are not hard to find. Didn't work with other virtualization on WIN desktop.

Answer 2

As far as I understood the task of virtualizing a real wheelbarrow?
I use Dump=>Restore.
1. Turn off the original machine.
2. Boot from LiveCD (In my case - Ubuntu Desktop 12.04)
3. sudo apt-get install dump
3.1 If it does not find repositories with the dump package, go to "/etc/apt/sources.list" and after the words restricted add universe
3.2 sudo apt-get update
3.3 Repeat step 3.
4. To write a dump file via sftp:
4.1 sudo apt-get install sshfs
4.2 sudo sshfs [email protected]_or_ip:/path/to/mount /mnt
5. sudo dump -0auf /mnt/dumpfilename .dump /dev/sd* # where /dev/sd* is the partition to dump.
6. On a new machine, install the same ubuntu (in your SUSE slack) (In order for Grub to get up correctly)
7. Boot from a LiveCD (In my case, Ubuntu Desktop 12.04)
8. sudo apt-get install dump
9. If not finds repositories, see points 3
10. sudo apt-get install sshfs
11. mkdir /mnt/MountPointForSftp
12. sshfs [email protected]_or_ip:/path/to/mount /mnt/MountPointForSftp
13. cd /mnt/sd* (the disk where we will roll dump, mount it first accordingly)
14. cp -r boot /mnt/MountPointForSftp
15. cp -r etc /mnt/MountPointForSftp
16. rm -rf ./*
17. restore -i -f /mnt/MountPointForSftp/dumpFileName.dump
18. restore > ls
19. restore > add *
20. restore> extract
21. # 1
22. OwnerMode - No
23. mv boot boot_bak
24. mv etc/fstab mv etc/fstab_bak
25. cp -r /mnt/MountPointForSftp/boot ./
26. cp /mnt/MountPointForSftp/ etc/fstab ./etc/fstab
27. Reboot!
