I have an older VM with SATA boot disk. I added a second NVMe disk but cannot do anything with it in the client. All operations with disk manager / diskpart fail with error, "The media is write protected."
Specs:
Host - MacBook Pro 16" 2019 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel i9 running Parallels 17.
Guest - Windows 10 Enterprise Version 21H1
I checked inside the VM package contents to be sure the .hdd file isn't locked. What would be flagging the second disk read-only and how to unset it.
 
Thanks but never mind. After many hours yesterday and today I finally managed to convert the old SATA disk to NVMe. After I did that, the new NVMe disk wasn't write protected anymore. I have a lot of complaints about that conversion but that's another story.
