I have a proxmox server with a 2TB disk and recently I have added a 250G ssd disk. How do I make that disk to be visible for a Windows 7 virtual machine running on the promox server?

If I go to the hardware section on the virtual machine and try to add a new disk, the only option show is local storage (which is the default storage on the server).

I have also tried using qm set 100 --sata1 /dev/sdc1 but after that, if I do reboot, Windows 7 won't boot anymore.

Here it is my partition table:

[3;J
root@Proxmox-VE /var/lib/vz/template # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
tmpfs 6.3G 8.8M 6.3G 1% /run
/dev/dm-0 1.8T 4.6G 1.8T 1% /
tmpfs 16G 43M 16G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 16G 0 16G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sdc1 230G 60M 218G 1% /ssd
/dev/sda1 488M 46M 418M 10% /boot
/dev/fuse 30M 16K 30M 1% /etc/pve
tmpfs 3.2G 0 3.2G 0% /run/user/0

/dev/sdc1 is the ssd and it is currently mounted as /ssd. I can delete the partition if necessary and mount it differently since the disk is totally empty.

Please advise!

Thank you
