Well, Im using MS DOS and I cannot write anything to the disk because I get A Write-Protected disk error. I have check the .VirtualBox folder and the virtual harddrive is not read me. I do not know what is going wrong. I have search on google and found no solution. I have also tried running VirtualBox as administrator. I am uploading photo's as attachments since I cannot post links because I need to wait a day and have 1 post.
Your shared folders pic was just wasting space, so I've deleted it.

Why are you showing a picture of an empty shared folders config area? "A:" is the first floppy drive in DOS, so you should be giving me details of what's in your virtual floppy drive. E.g. is it mapped to a host drive, is it a floppy image file etc. If the latter then is that image write protected?
Make a .zip file containing the .vbox file and the "VBox.log" file for this VM (the former from the <userdoc>\VirtualBox VMs\Microsoft Dos 6.22" VM folder, the latter from its "Logs" subfolder). Post the .zip as an attachment here.

I didn't realize A: was the floppy disc I fixed it now.
