This panel is used to configure a floppy drive for the virtual machine.
A floppy drive can be used only by the host operating system or by one guest operating system at a time. Access to a floppy drive can be enabled and disabled while a virtual machine is running by using the Devices menu.
Many laptop computers have removable floppy disk drives. The Configuration Wizard can configure a floppy drive for the virtual machine even if the floppy drive is physically detached from the computer. If the floppy drive is likely to be physically detached from the computer, then uncheck the Start with the floppy connected box. This prevents the virtual machine from trying to access the floppy device at power on. A floppy drive can be attached to or detached from a running virtual machine by using the Devices menu. Only one floppy drive can be configured using the Configuration Wizard. If necessary, the Configuration Editor can be used to add floppy drives later.
