I'm trying to setup a disk passthrough on virt-manager using the guide outlined but the disk device does not appear in the windows installation window. I'm sure i'm missing something obvious but i can't seem to get it working. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Administration_Guide/sect-Virtualization-Adding_storage_devices_to_guests-Adding_hard_drives_and_other_block_devices_to_a_guest.html

here's an excerpt of my xml file.

<devices>
<emulator>/usr/sbin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/mnt/australia/Downloads/ISO/win10-2.qcow2'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<boot order='3'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
<disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/mnt/australia/Downloads/ISO/en-gb_windows_10_enterprise_x64_dvd_6851157.iso'/>
<target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/>
<readonly/>
<boot order='1'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/>
</disk>
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
<source dev='/dev/sdc1'/>
<target dev='hdf' bus='virtio'/>
<boot order='2'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08' function='0x0'/>
</disk>
