Virtualbox no hard disks :(

[wh1sp3r]

Hi, i have problem with tinycore, perhaps it needs some specific settings but ..

when i boot from virtual CD, everything works, but i can't see any other disks, only sr0 as a CDROM.
i have tried to make different types of harddrives, IDE, SATA .. still tinycore can't see them.

what i should do ? thank you very much.

EDIT: damn, sorry for wrong forum

Your description is not detailed enough to give you any specific advice, so I can only wildly guess that you've created a new virtual disk, attached it to the VM (either to a SATA or IDE controller) and booted the VM from the CD-ROM (i.e. a TC ISO-image).

Of course with this scenario I won't be able to "see" the disks at that very stage via my "usual" method (which would be blkid /dev/[hs][dr]*). But using fdisk -l or dmesg | grep '[hs][dr][0-9a-z ]' would give me plenty of confirmation that the (virtual) disk is present. Bear in mind that a disk typically needs a partition table and formatting of that partition for it to more prominently "show up".

Hi, thanks,

yes, you are right, with fdisk, i can see my disk at it says, partition table is invalid that's nice, at least, i can create table and it will be ok.
