and now that you can use the virtual floppy you can then do
copy a:\*.* c:\dosgames
and put your games inside the hard drive of the vm.

Ok, not sure if it's related to using full path relating to file
contents - in other words, c:\temp\game, or something else, but
regenerated that disk image using the full file/folder path to the
files to include, and that also didn't want to cooperate with second
floppy drive, but, if I change the original floopy disk to use that
file, instead of a non-existent hardware drive, then it works - and
turns out am not sure can play my test game of the hobbit, but, can at
least now use the virtual floppy drive - thanks again <smile>

use the .flp format with bfi and you must manually write the
extension like this
bfi -f=c:\mydisk.flp c:\dosgames\football
in vmware 4.0 your .flp image will be the a: drive or it should be a:.

Using VMWare player 9.2, which works fine with rest of it, and got
floppy drive/image set to be available from power on, etc., but when
change to it in command line using b: - am assuming that's the right
drive for a second floppy drive - it tells me drive not ready,
please insert disk, etc.
Will try a few different formats in BFI, etc., and try assigning it
to original floppy drive, etc., but anyway - bit of a pity if can't
take this much further than just playing with dos and windows 3.1
themselves...LOL!
Might also try out an older version of VMWare player, but, really
don't think that's the issue - one question on that side of it -
VMWare player offers me both create and browse buttons with regards
to floppy images, but, when you select either option, it's still
looking for .flp files, but anyway..?
Stay well

you mount it before you boot the virtual machine, do you have
vmware player 4.0? you need 4.0. and you need to check the
connected checkbox and the connect at power on checkbox to make
floppy work.

Ok, created the .flp image of the original hobbit game's files,
but, if I either try mount it to the already included floppy disk
piece of virtual hardware, or try create another one inside
virtual machine, it keeps telling me disk/drive not ready from
command line when virtual machine is running..?
Do you just reassign the already included floppy disk to use that
image file, do you tell it to connect at power up, or do you map
it into virtual machine another way?
TIA

first I used a free command line program called BFI floppy to
turn it into a floppy disk image file. I mounted it in the
virtual machine and it showed up as an a: drive then in dos with
asap I typed
copy a:\island.exe c:\
and it coppied over into the vmware hard drive file system.

How did you copy it across to VMWare file system?
