Yes I know I have to make a SCSI hd in VMware, I did that.

I have a SCSI hard disk, I can see it in tab for this virtual machine. But when I boot up Knoppix and tell it to save Configuration, I select the hard drive and then it simply says that it cannot save the settings, nothing more.

From Knoppix, I went into the Konsole and typed "fdisk /dev/sda" and it says it can't find /dev/sda.

That is my problem. The virtual SCSI is there but I cannot format it.
