VMware = no floppy in WinXP

Has anyone else had this problem?
My floppy drive says insert disk when one is in drive in windows & works fine in Ubuntu :confused:

Working now :confused:

I don't even have a floppy drive in this system - though VMware emulates one anyway so it may/may not have had anything to do with your real drive

VMWare has taken control of the floppy drive. In the VMWare Ubuntu window, go to VM then Removable Devices and untick Floppy.
