The content of the floppy image was correctly created. I saved the floppy image, closed Virtualbox and then re-open the 1440 floppy image created, but this time using ImDisk in the original Vista host. Then in the Virtualbox XP I ran the Ontrack floppy disk creator and it worked. In the guest, I used a virtual floppy image (originally created as an empty 1440 floppy in the Vista host, using ImDisk in the host). ![]() While testing ImDisk, I also followed the directions about starting its service automatically for each boot, and checking that ImDisk device driver (at Windows device manager) was working.įor both VFD and ImDisk, I tried running them as administrator, and also in compatibility mode as XP, 2K and even Windows 98.įinally, I tried installing Virtualbox, with my vista system as host, and installed XP w/SP3 as guest. There are tons of ramdisk software, but I have no idea which one could work as a virtual floppy. ![]() Simply put, that's the way the program works.Ībout trying a ramdisk, using VFD or ImDisk I tried it, but it didn't work either. ![]() To "find another floppy creator program" sounds like "use UBCD without having to boot anything". If that's the way a programmer wants to distribute its soft, and I want to use it, then I have to create the floppy. If I had a real floppy installed, the floppy creator would work. First, I'm not sure what do you mean by "find another floppy creator program".
