Adding a Virtual Floppy Drive to a Virtual Machine
If your server contains a floppy drive, you can add a virtual floppy drive to the virtual
machine. You can point the floppy drive to a floppy disk image file.
A device can be connected to only one virtual machine on a server at a time.
To add a new virtual floppy drive to a virtual machine, make sure the virtual machine
is powered off, then complete the following steps.
1. On the Hardware page, click Add Device. The Add Device Wizard starts.
2. Click Floppy Drive. The Floppy Drive page appears.
3. To have the floppy drive be connected to the virtual machine when you power it
on, check Connect at Power On.
4. Specify whether to connect to the server’s floppy drive or to a floppy image. In
the Device list, select System Floppy Drive or Floppy Image.
