To gain full hard drive access in a VBox guest on Win7 host

0. close all open programs or documents on any partition on the disk to pass-through

1. run DISKPART (command line utility)*

2. select hard drive carefully using SELECT DISK. disk numbering starts at zero. you can roughly verify your selection with LIST PARTITION if you know what your partitions should look like or LIST DISK to see disk sizes.

3. offline the disk using OFFLINE DISK. all volumes will disappear from windows explorer.

4. ATTRIBUTES DISK CLEAR READONLY

5. verify with ATTRIBUTES DISK

6. create VMDK file as shown in several howtos on the web

7. enjoy

As always with the dumb numeric representation of physical disks in windows: keep an eye on the ordering of your disks, especially removables, before booting the wrong one.
