Where is the second virtual hard drive?

Post by hugoestr »

Hi, there, again!

I created a second hard drive and have linked it as a slave drive to my virtual machine, Windows Server 2003. That drive doesn't appear when I boot the machine up.

Any pointers on how to solve this?

Open Disk Management and partition the drive and format the partition. You can also name the drive and allocate a drive letter.
