My configuration may change, but for now it's 1) 240GB SSD and 1) 1TB SSD.
I've installed Proxmox 6.1 three times.
  1. I installed it without it being connected to the network, then I couldn't log-into the Web UI, nuked that as I couldn't figure out how to reset the network settings.
  2. Following along with a video on YouTube, I made a mistake and then check the box when created a directory. I searched online to find a solution; tried one, didn't work a 10.0.0.0.1 s I couldn't create a directory to upload the iso's too. Nuked that one.
  3. I formatted the drive but I don't know what happen, it targeted the larger 1TB drive to install Proxmox this time. It won't let me create a directory at all.
I tried Vmware Esxi, it didn't install a driver for the Realtek NIC so it never completed the install.
I was about to try Hyper-V2019 then I ran across a series of post that indicated that you can't run Docker for Windows on the core Hyper-V, you must have Windows Server to do that.
How do ensure Proxmox installs on the 240GB which I may install the second one for a RAID 0 and use that to hold the base OS and the VM's? I wanted to use the 1TB in-case I need the space for the WHS 2011 image.
Just a second ago I found on Serve The Home that you have to disable the enterprise reps because if you aren't paying for services it won't work with the regular apt get update/upgrade commands.
I spend the last 12 hours messing with this.

Good morning,

I'm sorry for your trouble to make it go. But yes, there a lot of details that are not very obvious during a first setup. You know (and read) the official documentation? (https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html)
How do ensure Proxmox installs on the 240GB
Just unplug the other drive. That's the most simple and secure way ;-)

Btw: Version 6.1 is old. I would recommend to use the the already officially released version 7.0 for a new install. (https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads/item/proxmox-ve-7-0-iso-installer)

Best regards
