CentOS 6.3 x86_64 wants to install on physical disk?
Posted: 9. Mar 2013, 00:46
Context
CentOS 6.3 x86_64 netinstall
VirtualBox 4.2.8
Windows 7 Pro host
Problem
During the netinstall, after loading the remote image and starting the graphical installation, the installer wants to configure the disk.
However, the disk that is presented appears to be my physical hard drive and not the 50 GB virtual drive I provisioned!
See attached screenshot. Note it says
ATA VBOX HARDDISK
51200.0 MB pci-0000:00:01.1-scsi-0:0:0:0
Very worried it's going to wipe out my host system's drive if I proceed. Is this normal?
