How can I make a USB hard drive be aviable to a Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 guest OS?

How can I make a USB hard drive be available to a Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 guest OS?

The external USB hard drive is currently plugged into the base server (Server 2008 R2). It shows up as drive W.

However, when I connect to any of the Hyper-V guest operating systems (including the Hyper-V guest OS that has Server 2008 R2 and Exchange Server 2010 installed on it) this external USB hard drive doesn't show up as a drive letter.

I need this external USB hard drive to show up within the Server 2008 R2 Exchange Server 2010 OS so that I can set up the Server 2008 R2 backups to backup directly to this external USB hard drive.

How can this be done?
