When a disk has been selected, the menu of virtual machines is enabled and you can proceed with generating the VMDK file. VBoxRawdisk also reads the VirtualBox registry to determine which virtual machines you have configured.
When a drive is selected, key attributes of that device are displayed, enabling you to determine which drive contains the data you wish to use in VirtualBox. When the utility is initiated it scans the physical drives attached to your Mac and presents a table similar to that used by Disk Utility.
It implements the steps described in Section 9 of the VirtualBox manual - 9.9.1.1 Access to entire physical hard disk and 9.9.1.2 Access to individual physical hard disk partitions, running VBoxManage to perform the steps based on data you supply via VBoxRawdisk.
VBoxRawdisk is a small utility that makes it a little easier to generate the raw disk (VMDK) file required to load a real disk drive into VirtualBox.
