Floppy Disk Images
Although most new Macintosh computers do not have floppy disk drives, Parallels Desktop
virtual machines have a virtual floppy disk drive. Parallels Desktop can use floppy image files
that appear to a virtual machine floppy drive as real diskettes. Parallels Desktop supports images
of floppy disks as files with .fdd extension.
In the guest OS you may also access real diskettes using an external USB floppy drive plugged
into Macintosh computer.
With Parallels Desktop, you can create an image of a blank floppy only. Parallels Desktop
doesn't allow you to create images of real diskettes. For more information on creating images of
floppy disks, refer to the Creating Floppy Disk Images topic (page 228).
