Hey ppl, I'm new here. I'm running VMware Workstation 10 on my Win7 Pro x64 laptop. When I try to add a 'Hard Disk' and select 'Use a physical disk', I see the USB as 'PhysicalDrive 1' but I do not see the dirve's partitions..??? If I select 'PhysicalDrive 0')my internal hdd) I am able to view and select the partitions.
I ran 'Diskpart' and took the drive 'Offline' so as it's not being used by Windows.
What am I missing? is this even possible?
I want to configure the USB thru VM so I can boot from my Acronis Backup and Recovery ISO and restore the TIB to the external USB.
Any help on this is appreciated
