Solve : Floppy Image?

Answer»

Hi,

I'm TRYING to install Virtual Machine Additions for DOS. I have the FLOPPY disk image, but for some reason when I try to transfer it to disk it says I need an extra 16.5K. I'm using a STANDARD 1.44 HD floppy disk and it's been formatted. Am I doing something wrong?I think you'll FIND that it's a virtual floppy image for use with VirtualPC, it's not meant for making a real floppy.

Yes DIAS is correct you will need to create the Virtual PC but Install DOS onto it.Ahh my bad, I get it.

The article I read stated 'boot from floppy'. I just assumed it meant the physical one LOL.

Cheers.I don't think you need to transfer it to a floppy disk. From your Virtual Machine (while running in DOS), choose the Floppy menu at the top and choose "Capture Floppy Disk Image" and point it to your Virtual Machine Additions for DOS image.
