does it format the selected hardrive?

👍 👍 👍
The only info missing was that Virtual Windows must be shut down before creating / adding new drive
Else it won't be able to add it

Great work also make a video how to make implement RAID 3 or RAID 5 in VM

Thanks a lot, doing a training video that's missing a few steps. This helped solve the problem.

thanks! Your video is 7 years old, but it helped me a lot, and I could add a new disc perfectly :) Clear and precise instructions. Useful information.

It wont let me hit Ok

did not work

Didnt work for me, I can access the host ssd system drive C: but I cant see or use my 2TB D: drive that I installed Virtual Box on to and partitioned, the one I want to install games to!!

how to save folder

Can’t get this to work with macOS in VirtualBox. It immediately takes me to Disk Utility in macOS to initialize the disk but the disk isn’t there.. any ideas?

uggghhh... why no connection to something like ubuntu? If someone NEEDS windows, they can stay in windows. Not saying their needs aren't important, just less of an occurence than going from windows to linux... hell, even apple. :-/

i did all of it but it did not work

So at the end like how do I set a location exactly?
