To mount the image: Shut down the FreeDOS guest.
Find the FreeDOS image file, f.i. by hovering the mouse over the name in the “Storage” section of VirtualBox.
Now mount the image in
- Windows or
Mount the image in Windows
Windows 7 and later are able to only connect VHD images. So in VirtualBox you need to have chosen “VHD” as type when you install the guest.
All FreeDOS images are provided now as VHD. If you already have a FreeDOS image as VDI you can easily convert it to VHD.
To connect the VHD image, click into the search bar.
Enter “Computer Management”.
Click “Disk Management”, wait until it’s started and right click “Disk Management” again. Choose “Attach VHD”.
Choose the location of your FreeDOS VHD image file.
You can see that the FreeDOS harddisk has been attached to Windows.

By default Windows is hiding system files, so you can’t see AUTOEXEC.BAT and others. To take care of that, click “Options”.
and uncheck “Hide protected operating system files”.
Now you can see all FreeDOS files in Windows Explorer.
Windows will add directories and files like “$RECYCLE.BIN” and “System Volume Information” to that disk. All methods to prevent that didn’t really work out. So I’d recommend to just ignore those creations, when you are in FreeDOS.
If you are done, please take care to eject the image before you startup the FreeDOS guest in VirtualBox.
Mount the image in macOS
Mounting the volume is much easier on the Mac.
Get the program “Paragon VMDK Mounter” (free after registration). It can mount various image files like VDI or VHD.

One of my cloud partners & I was talking with in the past & about mounting qcow & vmdk format virtual disks on MACOSX and we where not aware of any tool that allows for such activity. Will guess what? ' we have one now 'A tool has been release that allows the mounting of other virtual disks formats also. I will demonstrate vmdk disk mounter using paragon.

After you run thru the installer and it can take some time, you can now execute the application. My 1st try at this software generated a mount_error. I never figured out why, and the vmdk in question works perfectly fine on the vmserver that hosts this image.
Now after you select a vmdk file, you can mount the vm-disk and it will show up into diskutil, mount and df details.
A puppylinux vdi image also gave errors;
Other vdi images gave errors also so I'm still investigating and WTF.
For now, the qcow format diskimage will have to wait. I've sent two email requesting more information from them and they have never responded for my request.
