> Adaptec SCSI Card 39320A-Ultra 320 SCSI is detected in Vista.

The virtual machine has it own set of virtual hardware and will not see the SCSI adapater installed in the host.

You mat want to refer to the "Add a Generic SCSI Device to a Virtual Machine" page 346 and "Troubleshoot Problems Detecting Generic SCSI Devices" page 347
