If I create a VirtIO virtual disk then everything works fine.  But I want to have a dedicated Sata drive for my VM.

I also tried Machine i440fx-2.5.    I can get it to work if I use SeaBIOS but I want UEFI support,  since I want to use GPU Passthrough for this VM.

 

   <disk type='block' device='disk'>
     <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/>
     <source dev='/dev/sde'/>
     <target dev='hdd' bus='sata'/>
   </disk>

 

 

I have tried all possible settings I can think of.  My problem is whenever I use the SATA passthrough,  right after Windows 10 Installation when it restarts,  the BIOS cannot see the SATA drive and can't start Windows.

 

My Steps:

Run Windows Installation from the ISO

install the VirtIO drivers

Start the Installation Process

Windows Restarts

Stuck at Shell (couldn't find Windows)

 

 

I also tried the following. Still same result.  I must be missing something very simple.

 

<controller type='scsi' model='virtio-scsi'/>
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' rawio='yes'>
      <source>
        <adapter name='scsi_host5'/>
        <address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
      </source>
    </hostdev>

try writing exit in shell to enter the bios and see if you can add the drive there in the boot manager

You shouldn't be using the disk identifier when passing the disk through. sde can change on boot. Instead use disk by-id. See here for info.

Thanks.  I will change it to DiskByID.

 

The following changes seemed to fix the error.
