I've got my Proxmox VM setup with a CD/DVD drive, USB Device and (small) Hard Disk.
It's set to boot from the USB drive, which holds a bootable ISO disk.
How can I transfer the OS from the USB drive to the Hard Disk? (or even the CD drive).

These are instructions in a non-virtual environment, ...but I can't 'see' the hard disk when I use fdisk in the Console for the server.

(I'm super new and learning as I go, pls keep it simple and many thanks!)
 
The guide describes one way to do this. Maybe just backup your VMs, reinstall on you harddisk and restore the backup if you're not that into near-hardware stuff.
