Set-FloppyDrive
This cmdlet modifies the configuration of the specified virtual floppy drive. If a floppy image path is provided, the cmdlet sets the floppy drive to point to the image. Also, the cmdlet updates the StartConnected and Connected properties. If the value of the NoMedia parameter is $true, the cmdlet removes the floppy drive's media backing and disconnects it. The FloppyImagePath, HostDevice, and NoMedia parameters cannot be used together. The Connected parameter can be specified only if the corresponding virtual machine is powered on.

Specifies the path to the floppy drive on the host that backs this virtual floppy drive. Do not use this parameter when the FloppyImagePath and NoMedia parameters are specified. |
| optional | NoMedia | SwitchParameter | named |
|
Indicates that the floppy drive is to have no media (similar to removing the floppy from a physical drive). Do not use this parameter when the FloppyImagePath and HostDevice parameters are specified. |
| optional | ProgressAction | ActionPreference | named |
