Trying to add a SATA HDD that is connected by a USB dock attached to my laptop that is running Workstation 8.0.6.
Editing the vm, I choose add a physical disk, but the next screen has a dropdown that only shows physicaldisk0 and not the external disk.
Windows diskmanager shows the external HDD as 'disk 1' and I have removed all drive letters.
I tried marking the disk offline in diskpart, and it did not help - the drive still does not show up in the dropdown box.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
The drive is readable and writeable by the Win 7 host if marked online and assigned a drive letter to make it available, so I know the drive is healthy.
