I have a problem with hdd boot priority

Post by victorlk2 »

I've added several hdd devices to my virtual box machine (from Settings - Storage tab). But I have a problem - how can I choose main boot device (primary) which is used to boot of system? I even tryed to swap hdd in the .vbox file manually but without any success. I can boot from F12 menu, but it's not comfortable for me.
In the old virtual box application (older than my 4.11.22 r80657) was Slot menu in the Storage tab where i could choose my sata hdd like primary device. But in the 4.11.22 r80657 i can't find this menu.
That is a structure of my hdd's in the Virtual Box Storage tab:
IDE: 3 hdd and 1 CD.
SATA: 1 hdd (where Windows 2008 is installed).
Automatically loading provides from IDE primary drive. I want to load from Sata Hdd 1 drive.
In the boot menu (F12) i can choose drive 4 (key "4" on the keyboard).
I tryed to add sata drives but situation is the same - automatic loading is impossible from Sata Hdd 1.
When i have only one Sata hdd - automatic loading provides from this Hdd without problems.
