Hi everyone

just installing proxmox for the first time and I am booting it off a usb stick which works fine. When it comes to picking the drive to install to the only drives that show in the drop down are my sata drives. I have an internal usb2 slot on my motherboard which I have an external ssd plugged into that I would like to install to.

is there a way to get proxmox to display usb drives as an option on the drop down menu to install to?

appreciate any advice

thank you

You might find this helpful, I installed proxmox using external harddrive and installed on another harddrive

Both are external.
