I have laptop without CD/DVD and USB boot support.

I have (SD-IDE44) 8GB hdd.

I plug that SD HDD 44 to usb converter. Using disk tools i erase all partition on hdd.

Now i run kvm using

sudo kvm -hda /dev/sdc -cdrom /home/xxx/.cache/testdrive/iso/xubuntu_lucid-alternate-i386.iso

/dev/sdc is my hdd sd44 plugged to usb adapter.

Problem is, kvm SEE hdd as SCSI (S) what's wrong, because my old laptop don't have SATA! And i can't run OS installed as /dev/sdc. I need os installed to /dev/hda.

Is there any way, to force kvm, to emulate IDE controller ?

If not kvm, what else could run VM from real device.

regards
