I'll try that, but I think I've noticed what is missing when I clicked |
| 54 |
on the storage tab and then on the sata controller... it shows type |
| 55 |
AHCI and that suddenly rang a bell. I think that may be it... but |
| 56 |
right now I've ditched the vm I was trying to setup and started over. |
| 57 |
So I'll be a little while getting to the boot from disc stage again. |
