• Mount Floppy Disk Image Windows 10
• Floppy Disk Image Download

Mar 18, 2013  Recently I installed Windows 8 Pro, then installed Hyper-V then Windows XP mode. I am able to edit a virtual floppy disk drive I named FloppyA.vfd. OK actually question time, sorry If I was confusing, I want to take the.vfd and mount it to a CD ROM. Windows 3.1 was released on April 6, 1992, it has become a very popular version of all the 3.x releases. It dropped support for 'real mode', added TrueType font support, enhances support for multimedia, and added workgroup computer networking. Sep 21, 2019  Hi I'm running windows 10 and have just purchased a 3.5 inch USB floppy disk drive. The computer can finally find the unit but cannot read the inserted disk. The message I get is that A: is not. Floppy disks are things of the past, but if for some reason you need to use a floppy disk, today we’re going to show you how to create a virtual floppy disk on Windows 10. Before USB flash drives and DVDs, the only way to transfer files was a floppy disk. Floppy disks were used for data transfer.

Title says it all. I am looking for some software that will allow me to mount a floppy disk image (*.img) as a virtual floppy drive..similar I suppose to mounting an ISO image to a virtual optical drive.

I have tried a few things but nothing seems to work.

Edit: I am using Windows 98 (..old, I know!)

Try FileDisk (also comes bundled with WinImage):

FileDisk is a virtual disk driver for Windows that uses one or more files to emulate physical disks. A console application is included that let you dynamically mount and unmount files. An example of use for this driver is if you have made plans spending the weekend writing a RAID driver for NT but find you are short of disks. FileDisk can also use CD/DVD images.

FileDisk will use sparse files as disk images if the underlying file system supports it. A sparse file is a file where suficiently large blocks of zeros aren't allocated disk space. To see how much disk space a file actually uses right click on the file and choose Properties. If you for example create a sparse file of 4GB, mount it in FileDisk and format it to NTFS, it will only take up 24MB on disk but look like a normal disk of 4GB. When you copy files to it the used disk space will automatically increase.

Hi Therese,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience caused, I will be glad to assist you with this.

If you have a USB floppy drive, you will need to download the latest driver from Windows Update or from the manufacturer's website.
