Cannot attach physical drive while creating virtual machine on windows 7

Shared Drive Name is not accessible. You might not have permissions to use this resource.

Attaching the hostmachines drive (D:) to the virtual machine with 'settings' throws error: Shared Drive Name is not accessible. You might not have permissions to use this resource."

Other vm's have a link to that drive and are working. (running as admin on windows 7 x64)

Any idea's?

Using windows 7 through remote desktop and then making a virtual machine doesn't allow you to pick the physical drive. Go to your physical machine, pick the drive and go along with remote desktop....
