Hello,
I have a Compaq 8510w Notebook with 4GB RAM and Windows Vista 64 bit and OpenSuSE 11 installed on it. So there are multiple partitions on my hard disc. Now I would like to use the existing Linux installation in a VB from Windows. The problem is that if I create a new box it shows an empty list of HDDs. Any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks!

It's normal to have an empty list of disks in VB, as you didn't create any disk yet.
