在啟動應成為 Windows 8.1 作業系統的虛擬機器時，如何透過特定分割區（在本例中為 Lenovo Recovery 分割區）存取/開機？
原始磁碟佈局
ThinkPad X1 Carbon 第二代在原始磁碟佈局中保留了一個復原分割區。例如，在型號 20A7005RGE 中，磁碟佈局結構如下：
- sda1：ntfs，WINRE_DRV，~1GB
- sda2：fat32，SYSTEM_DRV，~260MB
- sda3：未知，微軟保留分區，~128MB
- sda4：ntfs，Windows8_OS，~217GB
- sda5：ntfs，Lenovo_Recovery，~14GB
- sda6：未知，基本資料分區，~7GB [/list]
另請參閱http://users.wfu.edu/yipcw/lenovo/2014/X1C2/： 讀磁碟佈局在部分OEM軟體。
重要分區的克隆
我使用 dd 保留了每個重要分區的克隆。舉例來說，對於 sda1，我指示：
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/usb/WINRE_DRV.dd並對其餘部分執行類似操作（除了 sda3 和 sda4）。
建立虛擬磁碟
主要用於硬體測試目的（即行動寬頻數據機）以及某些軟體，我嘗試從 VirtualBox 中的復原分割區安裝 Windows（8.1）。為此，我在虛擬磁碟中重新建立了原始磁碟佈局。請注意，分割區大小是從原始磁碟佈局中提取的（如上所述），並注意選擇正確的分割區類型（NTFS、Windows 復原環境、EFI 等）。

到目前為止，一切都很好。轉換 .影像進入 。維迪通過VBoxManage convertfromraw ThinkPad_Recovery.img ThinkPad_Recovery.vdi --format VDI並使用這個新的虛擬機，似乎可以工作。
然而，啟動機器後的畫面是：
。
似乎未訪問實際的恢復分區（以“Lenovo_Recovery”命名）。我該如何繼續？
