8.1 Appendix A - Using a Virtual Drive

Newer computers are routinely being built without a floppy drive. A floppy drive is needed to create Ghost boot floppies. If the PC being used to create the floppy disk does not have a floppy drive, a virtual floppy drive can be used. The following steps outline the procedure for downloading and installing a virtual floppy drive program.
