Answer» <html><body><p>Hi,<br/><br/>I'm attempting to create a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/virtualbox-727812" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VIRTUALBOX">VIRTUALBOX</a> machine of my physical laptop which is running Windows 8.1. I've created a separate <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/partition-238933" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PARTITION">PARTITION</a> where I installed Windows 10 so I can dual boot.<br/><br/>I've been following these instructions:<br/><a href="http://joaodrp.com/blog/2016/03/19/migrating-a-uefi-gpt-windows-8-10-machine-to-a-virtualbox-vm/">http://joaodrp.com/blog/2016/03/19/migrating-a-uefi-gpt-windows-8-10-machine-to-a-virtualbox-vm/</a><br/><br/>In VirtualBox, I have sucessfully gotten the VHD file attached to the virtual system and I used an DVD ISO Installation of 8.1 and booted into the advanced <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/recovery-13760" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RECOVERY">RECOVERY</a> area where I can use the command prompt to make changes to the vhd. The command prompt should allow me to rebuild the mbr record which is outlined in the instructions. One of the issues is that this Laptop's physical drive's recovery partition was deleted. I've thought about creating a new one but I'm not sure if I need to or not.<br/><br/>Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br/><br/>Thanks!<br/><br/><br/><br/>COMPUTER SPECS:<br/><br/>Operating System<br/>   Windows 10 Home Single Language 64-bit<br/><br/>CPU<br/>   Intel Core i5 3230M 2.60GHz<br/>   Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology<br/><br/>RAM<br/>   8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 798MHz (11-11-11-28)<br/><br/>Motherboard<br/>   Hewlett-Packard 181C (U3E1)<br/><br/>Graphics<br/>   Generic PnP Monitor (<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection">[email protected]</a>)<br/>   Intel HD Graphics 4000 (HP)<br/><br/>Storage<br/>   698GB TOSHIBA MQ01ABD075 (SATA)   45 °C<br/>   931GB PHD 3.0 Silicon-Power USB Device (USB (SATA))   45 °C<br/>   931GB <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/seagate-638383" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SEAGATE">SEAGATE</a> USB 3.0 Cable USB Device (USB (SATA))   45 °C<br/>   698GB <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/microsoft-12847" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MICROSOFT">MICROSOFT</a> Virtual Disk (File-backed Virtual)<br/><br/>Optical Drives<br/>   hp DVD A DS8A8SH<br/><br/>Audio<br/>   High Definition Audio Device</p></body></html>
