Host: Windows 8.1
Trying to install Win NT.
There are 2 boot floppies. I mount the first one and boot.
The installer then asks for the second.
I try to select the 2nd floppy from Devices -> Floppy Images -> Choose a Virtual Floppy file... however nothing happens.
No browse window appears. Nothing.
If I do this enough times, an error appears that VirtualBox has crashed.
Any ideas? I found the latest release of VirtualBox very buggy.

I had no problems swapping thru six disks for a DOS release installation.

Re: Swapping floppy images
IMHO, when this happens it's usually due to some problem on the host. Not much to do with VirtualBox. Windows is opening a file browser dialog and not liking something about the start folder. I've also had e.g. a Bluetooth driver hang the system while checking for something to talk to.
