Virtualbox won't boot from floppy
Posted: 31. Oct 2010, 01:43
I tried searching for this before posting, and so far most of what I find is for Linux users.
My floppy drive works just fine on my host computer (PC, Windows 7 64 bit), but when I place a floppy in it and start up Virtualbox it doesn't even attempt to read from my floppy drive. And if I press f12 and explicitly telling to boot from my floppy nothing happens, other than the fatal: no bootable medium found! System halted. error.
It's not that I don't have bootable media, it's that Virtualbox doesn't seem to know that I have an A: drive.
