| + | * Make sure '''Create a new virtual disk''' is selected (Advanced users may choose otherwise) and click Next | ||
| + | * Choose '''SCSI''' and click Next | ||
| + | * Choose your size of disk, I'll be choosing 20GB for this example, click next if the rest looks good to you. | ||
| + | * Choose a name for it so you can identify the disk later, my choice will be "SiT_v3.62_DB.vmdk" and click finish. | ||
| + | * Click OK to get back to the main screen, and turn on the SiT VM | ||
