Hi,
I am trying to use USB ( non 3.0 ) disk as storage for my VHDs but its failing
Server = server 2012 in domain
Hyper- v
USB = 2.0
The above setup worked like charm in 2k8 R2 . when I upgraded my OS to 2012, nothing works ( creation / import of VHDs )
Tried different hardware ( USB 1TB or 750 GB disks ) no use.
Error messages - real strange , different operations gives different errors.
Things I tried :
a) Creating VM on USB - failed with General access error ( 80070005 ) , updated the driver ( DRVR_SATA_Intel_A01-2PWDK_setup_ZPE.exe) same error
b) Tried changing registry permissions ( no luck )
c) Gave full permissions for SYSTEM , users, administrator ( for testing purpose ) on the USB - no luck
d) created VHD on local disk , copied the working VHD - no luck
e) gave virtual machine SID on the VHD = no luck
its very annoying to find the root cause , I am not finding any light ahead.
please assist
