What I saw in drive X: was NOT the Windows 10 as I thought. It was probably some kind of "initramfs". Typical problem of installer having trouble finding itself :( I ended up copy the content of the USB to WIN_BACKUP, relabel the partition to WINDOWS10. Then Setup was able to saw it. What is the correct way of exposing the USB controller to the VM while the VM also needs to boot from one of the attached drive? Alex
