Dual Boot & VM Using VMWare (Win10 Host KDE Neon Guest)

I have a local KDE Neon installation on my separated SATA SSD. I want to use this SSD for dual-boot and VM.

I tried to add the disk to the VM, by using the physical disk feature. However, no matter what settings I use(controllers, partition/whole disk), the VM fails to detect the disk, and gives the error:

Cannot connect the virtual device sata0:1 because no corresponding device is available on the host.

I guess it’s because Windows can’t detect ext4 partitions, but I’m not sure. Are there any workarounds for this situation?
