![]() ![]() Naturally you can use any name you want for the "of" output file. Don't shoot me if I get the command wrong, but I think something to the affect of (without quotes) "dd if=/dev/floppy of=./dos5-disk1.iso" would do it. Probably the easiset way, would be to issue the command from the directory you want the image to reside in. You would use the dd comand to make the image. Just one other thing I can think of, along the lines of floppies, would be to make an image of them and point your Vbox floppy drive at the image, rather than the real floppy drive. The new groups won't take affect untill you do so. I assume that after adding yourself to those other groups, you logged out and then back in. What I already described is about the extent of my tricks for Virtualbox. Well, I don't think I'm going to be of much more use to you. (MS-DOS 5, a good version by the way, you must be as old as I am.) Try mounting the floppy manually, then see if Virtualbox can find it. I've always needed to mount them manually. I have never seen any of the *nixes automatically mount a floppy. Disconnect the CD drive from Virtualbox and the CD will reappear on the desktop as Linux mounts it again. I have seen Linux mount a CD, then attach the CD drive to Virtualbox, Virtualbox takes over and on the Linux desktop, I no longer see the CD. What I've noticed, is that Virtualbox doesn't seem to be able to access the removable media all the time, unless its mounted in Linux first. Although it shouldn't be necessary, when accesing a raw hard disk, I've sometimes needed to add myself to the disk group as well. I'd begin by making sure you are a member of the vboxusers group. I've never tried using a floppy with VirtualBox. ![]() I haven't had a 32 bit processor or a floppy drive for a long time. ![]() I just installed Mint 14 Cinamon, amd_64 so I don't know if it will act the same as the 32 bit version. ![]()
