Read a floppy once -- problem

Hi people,

I am trying to install win3.1 and have discovered that VBox will read the floppy fine then when I insert the 2nd one I get an invalid media error.

If I use the Devices - unmount the floppy, wait a bit and then Mount the floppy it will read the next floppy. I have 5 more floppies to go and that's not the worst, I then have to install Corel and it is 16 floppies.

Do I have to do the unmount-mount dance 21 more times?

Dave
