Creating Floppy Disk Images
You may need to create a floppy disk image for the successful installation of some operating
systems. You can create a blank floppy disk image in one of the following ways:
Use Configuration Editor to recreate a floppy disk image.
Use Add Hardware Assistant to add a floppy drive to a virtual machine. See Add Hardware
Assistant (page 189).
You can create an image of a real diskette using an external USB floppy drive. See Creating a
Floppy Disk Image Using USB Floppy Drive below in this topic.
Note. If you have a floppy image created by WinImage or VMware applications, you should
change the file extensions from .img and .ima to .fdd, if you want Parallels Desktop to read
it..
Creating a FDD Image of a Floppy Disk
To create an .fdd image of a diskette do the following:
1 Plug a USB floppy drive into your Macintosh computer and insert the diskette which image
you want to create.
2 In the Finder, choose Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.
3 In the Disk Utility window, select the diskette in the left pane and click the New Image
button.
4 In the next dialog, specify:
the image file name in the Save As field
the image file location in the Where field
the image file format in the Image Format drop-down list
