Can not create storage pool

Hello,
I have Win server 2012 installed in Hyper-V. I would like to create storage pool on 2 virtual disks. I tried it with IDE, SCSI and iSCSI disks but still no success. In "New Storage Pool Wizard" I see nothing in "group of available disks (primordial pool)". Therefore I can not click "Next", it is greyed out. In "File and Storage Services" -> "Volumes -> "Disks" I can see two my disks, they are online and in disk management I see Basic, Online, Unallocated for them. What am I doing wrongly?
Thanks.

I tried also SATA disks in Virtualbox and again no success. -

Hi,
So in Hyper-V settings of the Windows 2012 VM, you created 2 disks (IDE and SCSI are both tried) but failed to create a storage pool with them. ISCSI is also tried.
As the 2 disks are recognized in disk management, they should able to be recognized in storage pool settings. What's the size of the 2 disks? It will ignore disks smaller than a specific size (aobut 10GB).

Couple of things to consider before moving any disk to storage pool,
1) Disks has to be uninitialized,
2) It has to have a capacity greater than 10GB
