-!!Be sure to use it as IDE harddisk in Proxmox VE.!!+!!Note ->!! Testing was performed using Proxmox VE 3.1 on bare metal ((you need a 64bit CPU with VT-x or it will be really slow!)).  Your mileage may vary testing Proxmox within another VM, for example VMware appears to work for evaluation purposes, but VirtualBox may have issues with the network bridge interface.
  
-I tested this with Proxmox VE 3.1 on a real machine, it doesn't work if you install Proxmox VE in another Virtual Machine (like VirtualBox) :-).+\\
