Have you rebooted and/or re-scanned for disks in disk management?

Looks like you already had a SCSI adapter installed.
Pull the second one you added and re-attach the vhd to the first one.

I tried adding the hdd to IDE and found it work. I wonder why not to SCSI.

Did you install the guest additions?

I do not know what the "guest addition" means. So, I must have not done that. Is that what I should do to make SCSI work?
