Solved Hyper-V VM fails to start with SCSI error unless Windows installation USB is plugged in

Hello everyone,

Problem
Every time I want to start a VM in Hyper-V, I have to keep the USB drive containing the Windows installation plugged into my host machine.

Actual behavior
If I try to start the VM without the installation USB inserted, the VM fails to start and throws an error related to SCSI.

Expected behavior
I would like to be able to start the virtual machine independently without needing the physical installation USB drive attached to the system.

Is there a way to configure or start the VM without having to keep the USB drive plugged in?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

tecknot

Go into the VM settings and look for the attached ISO and remove it.

Hi neemobeer,

How are you?

Okay, let me reboot the VM and I'll let you know if it works.

Cool deal. It worked. That was easy.

Thanks again, @neemobeer!
