existing windows 10 physical disk pass through

Featured Replies

Firstly thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully help.

 

I currently have 3 hard drives with the following configuration:

1.  OCZ-VERTEX3_OCZ-PL06Z3PFR73YZ2IF - SSD which has my windows installation installed on

2. ST3500418AS_9VMWE3BH - HDD which has all my windows "stuff" installed on.

3. Maxtor_6V250F0_V598SLPG - This is what is currently used for my unraid.

 

I am trying to get my windows 10 installation running within a VM by passing through the disk to be used in the VM.

 

I have seen the following articles which I believe are telling me what to do:

https://youtu.be/QaB9HhpbDAI (Space Invaders - How to Passthrough Harddrives)

Hard drive passthrough - VM Engine (KVM) - Unraid Forums

 

When following the steps from Space Invaders the VM starts but simply get stuck "posting" i guess (where it dumps you on the shell).

 

Disk 1 does contain 2 partitions (system partition and the c drive).

 

Would someone mind taking a look over this to see what I missed:

 

<devices>
    <emulator>/usr/local/sbin/qemu</emulator>
    <disk type='block' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/>
      <source dev='/dev/disk/by-id/ata-OCZ-VERTEX3_OCZ-PL06Z3PFR73YZ2IF'/>
      <target dev='hdc' bus='virtio'/>
      <boot order='1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
    </disk>
    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source file='/mnt/user/isos/en-gb_windows_10_enterprise_x86_dvd_6851158.iso'/>
      <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
      <readonly/>
      <boot order='2'/>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
    </disk>
    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source file='/mnt/user/isos/virtio-win-0.1.185.iso'/>
      <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/>
      <readonly/>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/>
    </disk>

 

Thank you

Are you sure you installed VirtIO drivers in your windows installation?
