Connecting to a physical drive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings,

I am using Virtual Machine Manager on a 64 bit LinuxMint 17.1 host.  The host has a second physical SCSI drive (/dev/sdb) that I want a Windows 7 VM to use.  I am booting from a CDROM ISO image.  The system boots fine but the Windows installs keeps saying that it sees no hard disk.

The host is a local / desktop machine with X.

What I have tried so far:

1.  Under Managed or other existing storage I put:
/dev/sdb
Device Type:  SCSI
cache mode: default
Storage format raw

I made sure I had write access to that device:
chmod 666 /dev/sdb

I also tried:  chown me /dev/sdb

2.  Under Connection Details / storage I added 
Storage pool type:  disk
Target path:  /dev
Source path: /dev/sdb
Volume name: sdb
Max capacity:  465GB
Allocation:  465GB

I have tried everything I can think of but the Windows install keeps saying no storage device.

Help would sure be appreciated!

Thanks.

Blake
