physical floppy drive on the host machine. Then choose the drive letter that
should correspond to the virtual floppy drive.

Select this option if
you want the virtual floppy drive to connect to an image file stored on the
host file system. Then click
Choose
to locate the image file to which this virtual floppy drive should be
connected.
