Error: "Floppy will start disconnected"
Details
I configured the virtual machine with a floppy device, but I am
getting errors that the device will start disconnected. What is
wrong?
Solution
This error message sometimes appears when there is no floppy
disk in the drive. Be sure there is a disk in the floppy drive,
then use the Devices menu to connect the floppy drive to the virtual
machine. If this does not correct the problem, be sure the floppy
drive is not in use by the host computer or another virtual
machine.
