Re: Problems on trying to use scsi for hdd
Keep the drive as ide for starters.
Now add an extra harddisk temporarily as scsi. Install drivers for that scsi card in windows.
Reboot the guest.
If it now sees your second harddrive then you can try switching the first to scsi.
reboot.
If it works remove the extra junk drive.
You might also have to edit c:\boot.ini but I'm not sure about that.

might be a good option....but which driver should be installed for the scsi...
sorry for that stupid question but there´s no information about the scsi controler
thx for reply
