Cannot connect the virtual device sata0:1

Cannot connect the virtual device sata0:1 because no corresponding device is available on the host.  The error pops up when I enable the host/guest share and map the drive.

I tried to delete and then add back the the sata drive to VM Player- but it did not help.

I am using VM Player 12.5.5 on Win10 Pro Host, and Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop.

Thanks
