Problems with New-HardDisk

[stephen_ng]

This forum has been very helpful!

My latest problem is trying to create a new hard disk for use in a VM. I get the dreaded"A specified parameter was not correct. " message when I try this:

New-HardDisk -VM (Get-VM -Name "MyVm") -CapacityKB 10 -Datastore (get-datastore "myserver:storage1") -DiskType "Flat" -Persistence "Persistent" -Debug

Or the more minimal:

New-HardDisk -VM (Get-VM -Name "MyVm") -CapacityKB 10

Thanks in advance,

Steve

quick comment: 10 KB hard drive? could it be so simple as there is a minimum number and you're under it?
