VMware Cannot Connect the Virtual Device sata0:1 Error
By Timothy Tibbettson 06/15/2023 |
If you're getting an error every time you boot with VMware, here's the solution. The error we're looking at reads, "Vmware Cannot Connect the Virtual Device sata0:1."
The problem appears to be with the DVD drive. In my case, it just so happened that I had an external DVD drive that was unplugged, and that highlighted the problem.
There are two easy ways to stop the error. Step 1 is simple, and Step 2 explains what happens if you need to connect a DVD drive later.
Video tutorial:
1: Click No
Click No instead of yes.
Because we're afraid that our Virtual Machine might not boot, our instinct has been to click Yes so that it boots.
2: Make Changes in Virtual Machine Settings
Let's see what we did.
Right-click on your virtual machine and click settings or click on VM > Settings.
Click on CD/DVD (SATA).
You have two options.
If you might connect a DVD drive later, uncheck Connect at power on.
If you don't plan to use a DVD drive, click on Remove.
