I haven't seen a computer sold with
a floppy drive for many years now.
You need new glasses then.
I don't need glasses at all.
You clearly do. Most computers are still sold with a floppy
drive with the exception of laptops and notebooks.
Are people here always this rude?
Nope, just when someone says something as stupid as that.
However, I have a program that requires
me to install it from the floppy drive.
Which program specifically ?
This is Mitchell, a car repair product.
Is it a dinosaur ? Can be a problem
that a real floppy drive is simplest with.
Its easy enough to do that with a CD burner.
I'm don't mean emulation on boot.
I mean emulation in Windows (XP).
True. Some stuff does need installation from floppy
with no OS involved, it wasnt clear if that applied to you.
It isnt hard to buy a floppy drive and plug one in temporarily either.
That really doesn't answer anything about emulation.
Yes, but it is the best approach with a desktop.
I think I would have done that already if I wasn't dealing with a laptop.
You didnt say it was a laptop.
So the original question was: Is there a program
that will emulate a floppy drive under Windows?
Nope, not with a laptop.
You can get USB floppy drives for laptops. Not clear
if that dinosaur will be happy to install using that tho.
