Most users of Windows Virtual PC do not need to use floppy disks with their virtual machines, as general usage of floppy disks has become rarer and rarer. Those who do need to use floppy disks – may think that they can no longer do this – as there is no user interface for connecting floppy disks to virtual machines.
Do not be fooled.
Windows Virtual PC does support the use of floppy disks – but as this feature is only used by a small subset of users – we did not expose this in the user interface. To use floppy disks you need to have a script to help you. And here are the scripts:
VBScript:
Option Explicit
' Define constants for floppy drive attachment types
CONST vmFloppyDrive_None = 0
CONST vmFloppyDrive_Image = 1
CONST vmFloppyDrive_HostDrive = 2
Dim namedArguments, argumentError, vpc, vm, vmName, action, floppy, vmFloppyDrive
' Check that the script is running at the command line.
If UCase(Right(Wscript.FullName, 11)) = "WSCRIPT.EXE" Then
WScript.Echo "This script must be run under CScript."
WScript.Quit
End If
' Get the virtual machine name / floppy commands from the command-line arguments
Set namedArguments = WScript.Arguments.Named
argumentError = false
If namedArguments.Exists("vm") Then vmName = namedArguments.Item("vm")Else
argumentError = true
End If
If namedArguments.Exists("action") Then action = namedArguments.Item("action")Else
argumentError = true
End If
If namedArguments.Exists("floppy") Then floppy = namedArguments.Item("floppy")Else
If (not ((action = "info") or (action = "disconnect"))) Then
argumentError = true
End If
End If
' Display usage information if wrong arguments are provided
if argumentError then
WScript.Echo "Missing command-line argument"
WScript.Echo
WScript.Echo "Usage: FloppyDrive.vbs /vm:" & chr(34) & "Name of virtual machine to be started" & chr(34)
WScript.Echo
WScript.Echo " /action:info - to display information about the current floppy configuration"
WScript.Echo " disconnect - to disconnect any attached floppy disk or floppy disk image"
WScript.Echo " vfd - to attach a virtual floppy disk image"

WScript.Echo
WScript.Echo " /floppy:name - where name is either the full name and path for a virtual"
WScript.Echo " floppy disk or the letter of a physical disk to attach"
WScript.Echo
WScript.Quit
end if

On Error Resume Next
Set vpc = CreateObject("VirtualPC.Application")If Err.Number <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo "Unable to connect to Virtual PC."
WScript.Quit

end select

end select

These scripts are fairly “self documenting” and will provide error messages if the wrong input is provided. They will allow you to connect both physical and virtual floppy disks to a virtual machine. As well as to check the information about the current floppy disk configuration.
I have also attached these scripts for download.
Cheers,
Ben
