This application is a virtual floppy drive for Windows NT / 2000 / XP.

You can mount a floppy image file as a virtual floppy drive and directly access the contents -- view, edit, rename, delete or create files on a virtual floppy, format a virtual floppy, launch a program on a virtual floppy... almost anything you can do with a real floppy. 


Virtual Floppy Drive v2.1

SATA drives are being identified by Windows as 'removable drives' because
technically they ARE removable drives. Part of the SATA specification is
that such drives are 'hot-swappable'and some motherboard chipset drivers
force windows to show them as such. You wouldn't be able to use that feature
of course because it is your boot drive. Some of the newer motherboards have
corrected this and SATA boot drives do not show as removeable HDD's.


Go to Start/Run type regedit

locate this folder

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvata (nvata64 for those using 64bit
windows)

after navigating to this folder, create a DWORD named "DisableRemovable" and
set the value to 1

restart your pc and you should notice the removable icon is no longer there,
which means windows no longer detects your SATA hard drive as a removable
device but other removeable drives will still be shown.

Notes

- Make sure you set your computer to boot from USB Flash Drive
To Enter the BIOS press the "Del" button on your keyboard. Alternatives are "F1", "F2", "Insert", and "F10". Some PC's BIOS might even require a different key to be pressed. Commonly a PC will show a message like "Press [Del] to enter Setup" to indicate that you need to press the "Del" key. Some AMI BIOS require you to enable the option "USB Keyboard Legacy support"!
For AMI BIOS:

• Go to "Feature Setup". "Enable" these options: "USB Function Support",
  "USB Function For DOS" and "ThumbDrive for DOS". Go to "Advanced Setup".
  Set the "1st Boot Device" to "USB RMD-FDD".
  Reboot the PC and it now should boot from the Usb Stick.
  
• Go to "USB Mass Storage Device Configuration". Select "Emulation Type"
  and set it to "Harddisk". Go to the "Boot Menu" and set the "1st boot device" to "USB-Stick". Exit the BIOS, saving the changes.
  you can try "Emulation Type" to "Floppy" or "Forced FDD".

For PHOENIX/AWARD BIOS:

• Go to "Advanced BIOS Features". Go to the "1st Boot device" and set it to "USB-ZIP".

- If you get GRLDR error then use syslinux to boot grub4dos (132 KB)

Every device has a Vendor and Device id associated with it. If you can find this ID, you can find the manufacturer. In Windows it's easy to find the vendor and device id.

1. Open Device Manager (Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager)
2. The hardware whose drivers are missing will appear as Unknown device, so it's easier to locate the device.
3. Right click on the unknown device and click on Properties.
4. Under the Properties window click on Details tab and select Device Instance Id from the drop down box.
5. You should see a code similar to this

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DC&SUBSYS_30868086
&REV_01\4&1E46F438&0&40F0
6. The portion of the code highlighted in RED is the Vendor ID and the portion highlighted in BLUE is the Device ID. In this example:

Vendor ID = 8086
Device ID = 27DC
7. Once you have obtained both the IDs, proceed to PCI Database. There you can either search for the vendor from the vendor ID or directly get information about the device along with the vendor name by searching with the device ID.
