physical drive not listed in dropdown in Workstation 8

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.
