I'm running VPC 7 w/WinXP Pro on my Powerbook. I have an educational program that is on CD that requires a blank floppy in the A: Drive to record results. Is there any way I can setup a virtual drive that the program will think is the A: drive with a blank floppy installed? If so, how about some detailed instructions to follow. Thanks in advance!

1. Window: Virtual Disk Assistant
2. Create empty floppy or hard disk image
3. Create floppy disk image
4. High density
5. Create Image
6. Drag onto "floppy" icon in VPC window.

I followed those steps and everything works fine upto that last step.
I don't see a floppy icon in the VPC window. I opened up "my computer" and see an A: drive icon but when I drag and drop the floppy image onto it, it says error: insert blank floppy." I must be using the wrong floppy icon?
