Open the Settings dialog for the virtual machine you want to use to add data to the floppy image with. Even though you should be extremely wary of treating a CSV volume like a regular folder structure, it is generally safe to do so in this instance. You can save it right inside the folder for that VM, if you’d like. You’ll need to save the file in a location that can be seen by the virtual machine you’ll be using to put data on the virtual image. The dialog box that appears will be asking you where you want to save the created image, and it will be looking at the local drives on the selected Hyper-V host.

In Hyper-V Manager, select the Hyper-V host you want to create the image on and go to New->Floppy Disk.Ģ. You’ll use Hyper-V Manager to create the disk and a virtual machine to format and populate it.ġ. Manipulating floppy images is done entirely within Hyper-V. If you have a virtual machine that doesn’t recognize its virtual CD-ROM drive or the SCSI system and you don’t want to power it off to add a virtual IDE VHD, the virtual floppy might be exactly what you need. That makes their virtual equivalents especially well-suited to help solve any problems you might encounter with the other drive technologies in a virtual machine. As one of the oldest technologies since the dawn of the personal computer, support is ubiquitous. Floppy disks have mostly disappeared from datacenters large and small, but their legacy lives on.
