VMWare installed and running fine. Booting & installing VMs from the 1.44 (A:) floppy drive, and all is well. Suddenly, VMWin95 won't read any floppy disks.. says they are unformatted. Trying to format a disk gives a 'disk not present, or drive door open' message. Restart the VM, now thw VM will not boot from a floppy - the drive lights & spins, but no head activity, and 'Missing operating systrem." errors. Create some new VMs, same problem, no floppy access at all. Linux mounts, reads and writes the drives just fine. The box will also boot from the drive anytime. VMWare re-installed. Floppy, still totally useless. Settings for the floppy device all look fine, and appear correct as the drive does light and spin when you attempt to access it. I don't expect VMWare to give me support on an eval license, and there is not a peep about this in the FAQS!
