I haven't used floppies for years, but this was easy to sort out. You just leave them in your registered floppies list. The only ball ache is having to format them but is you don't mind them being identically formatted then just format the one before copying it. If you want to give them meaningful names you can do but then the FOR loop get a little more tricky because you need to user the %~n modifier. If you want to register 100 copies of this as floppy1.img - floppy100.img, it takes two line of code in a command box using a FOR /L loop to do the copy, then another to do the VboxManage registerimage floppy commands. The point is it doesn't matter how you create this file as long as its 1440Kb long (or 2880Kb if you want to emulate high density floppies. It was just easier to do this than to write a 3 line Perl programme on XP. I copied this to my XP host through a shared folder. (OK the easiest way to do this is a one liner in Linux dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.img bs=1024 count=1440. Maybe I am just being stupid but what is the problem here? I just created a blank file 1440Kb long and called it flopp1.img.
