createrawvmdk with -partitions option still grants full disk access

[Charly]

Hi,

i have a problem with VBOX v4.1.14r7740 on Windows 7 Enterprise as Host regarding "createrawvmdk" with "-partitions" option because always full disk access with all partitions is granted to the guest system.

I use the following command to create a hardisk based on a physical partition:

VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename d:\TestVBox\test.vmdk -rawdisk .\PhysicalDrive1 -partitions 2

The second disk in my computer contains 2 partitions and only the second one should be available for VBOX, but i always see both partitions in my XP based guest-system and not only the second one.

When you fill fix this problem?

Regards Charly
