    I've connected an old HDD with an adapter via USB to my M1 Mac Mini running the Monterey beta. The drive has two partitions, and both of them show up and are fully accessible on the Mac.

    However, I can't seem to get it to pass through to the Windows 10 VM, I get this message when I boot it up.

    I have set up the configuration to accept the drive as such.

    And I've got the sharing settings as such.

    Any help from here would be appreciated, I've searched the forums and the web and I see a lot of issues about USB devices not working, but all my other USB devices work fine, and if I connect a Thumb Drive, or even a MicroSD card with a USB adapter, that'll work just fine as well, I can add and remove those on the fly no problem. I'm simply asked where to attach it, and it gets mounted to either Mac or Windows as needed. This seems to be an issue with just this particular hardware application, where I have an old spinning rust SATA drive connected with a powered adapter via USB.
