Is it possible to give a VirtualBox VM read-only access to a physical HDD? I've read up on the createrawvmdk documentation, but it seems that it can only give it full read-write access.

  • Guest is Windows 7. Host is also Windows 7, or if necessary, any Linux live DVD I can boot.

You can use StarWind VSAN for that purpose. While creating a Device check physical disk and configure ISCSI Read-Only Disk bridge. enter image description here enter image description here
