    NTFS signature is missing.
    Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument
    The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
    Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
    partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?

    my

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 * 1 889 7140861 83 Linux
    /dev/sda2 890 936 377527+ 5 Extended
    /dev/sda5 890 936 377496 82 Linux swap / Solaris

    Is VirtualBox giving you acces to your host OS's drives?

    I didn't think so, I think you can use folder sharing or networked drives.
