I accidentaly run something that crashes and make the internal HDD dead. I have my floppy images backed up both on internal HDD and external HDD. Trying to use a separate Drive B: just does not work. There are ways of getting VirtualBox to work with 5.25" image sizes, but these make things unnecessairly complicated. Stick with 1.44Mb (or of necessary 720kb) images.You could write the images back to floppies, but what's the point? Just using images takes up less room anyway. Save your files from the guest to these images.įor back-up just copy these image files to your backup store. Use the host to create images of the disks you want to use (Google something like "create floppy image" for lots of possible utilities.) Make an image of an empty (formatted) disk, and make as many copies as you like of this. I have dried it with a USB floppy drive plugged into a Windows 7 host, and as with yourself it will read but not write from a VM (and the reading is a bit uncertain).Ĭan I suggest that you use virtual floppy images, which work perfectly from within VirtualBox. Writing direct to floppies does seem erratic. ![]()
