    A pass-through disk is a type of virtual disk that points not to an area of space on a physical disk, but to a physical disk drive itself, installed on the host computer. When you add a hard drive to any of the controllers in a virtual machine, you can select a physical hard disk, as opposed to virtual one.

    To add a physical hard disk to a virtual machine, however, the VM must have exclusive access
    to it. That is, you must fi rst take the disk offline in the parent OS, by using the Disk
    Management snap-in, or the Diskpart.exe utility. After the disk is offl ine, it is available for selection in the Physical hard disk drop-down list.

      you are an over thinker like me,you don’t have to, but I would want to..once the VM brings it online you can either install O/S, formatting the drive anyway, or if a second drive, then i guess you could manage it through the VMS Disk Management.
