Windows Forum / Virtual PC / February 2008how to suppress floppy seek
how to suppress floppy seek during boot up, login and shutdown/restart? I tried looking in the bios of the vm but failed to find it. this noisy seeks of 2 or more seconds does not happen with the other w2k VMA but does occur with similar copy VMB but with software components changes . after an copy error message: ERROR - <VMA> Virtual PC has encountered an error on the host while copying files; An error in Virtual PC has occurred(d2). after this error message, another new Nt4 vm has same annoying floppy seek problem Have you tried deselecting "Automatically detect floppy disk" in the settings for the vm's? The Help file has this note concerning Managing Virtual Floppy Disks: "When Automatically detect floppy disk is selected, Virtual PC spends processing time checking for the presence of a floppy disk, which may decrease the performance of the virtual machine. Selecting this option is not generally recommended." > how to suppress floppy seek during boot up, login and shutdown/restart? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > after this error message, another new Nt4 vm has same annoying floppy seek > problem thank you.
