Adding a Hard Disk to a Virtual Machine
Do not create the virtual hard disk in a folder that is marked for encryption. Virtual hard disks are stored as .vhd files.
Hyper-V does not support the use of storage media if Encrypting File System (EFS) has been used to encrypt the .vhd
file. However, you can use files stored on a volume that uses Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption.
To add a hard disk to a virtual machine:
1. Open Hyper-V Manager.
2. In the Results pane, under Virtual Machines, select the virtual appliance that you want to configure.
3. In the Action pane, under the name of the virtual appliance, click Settings.
The Settings page opens.

4. To select the controller to attach the virtual hard disk to, in the Navigation (left) pane, select IDE Controller
0, then click Add.
The Hard Drive dialog opens.
