I am trying to boot Ubuntu inside Win 10 by raw disk access. Ubuntu is located in a portion inside an external SSD. I followed the instructions from this post, everything went well, except when I start the virtual machine it throws me FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE. I had no idea what is going on, then I found this post, and the answer is to enable EFI, I also tried but had no avail.
What it returned after enabling EFI.
The vmdk file:
# Disk DescriptorFile
version=1
CID=e7fa4099
