server 2008 r2 vm guest. hook external hard disk via usb on the
physical. can see usb on host. take offline on host and
update settings in 2008 r2 vm guest scsi controller/add hard drive
, point physical usb hard disk , select usb external. i
restart guest vm when go server manager/disk manager not see
disk. did wrong?

the issue rooted in usb drive , way driver presents os.

to make sure doing right, present physical disk vm.

the other option make vhd on usb disk , present vhd vm.  vhds can mounted windows os of win7 / 2008 r2 or newer.
