Virtual Floppy Drive, create and mount images of floppy disks

While we have many programs to create, edit and burn images to CD and DVD programs do the same thing with floppy disks are very rare (rarer still if free).
With improving technology and the advancement of USB flash drives, in fact, the old floppy disks have become obsolete and begin to disappear not only by the laptops, but also from the PC desktop. But what should you do if you have several old floppy, and maybe only a floppy drive for different computer (and do not intend to buy more)?
The answer is simple, and is the same in the case of CD / DVD use a software image floppy, and install floppy images, as we do with CD / DVD.
So here we are two programs to help open source.
RawWrite allows us to create the image of a floppy disk in a file .IMG (and also to write the image onto a new floppy 'physical'), while Virtual Floppy Drive allows you to mount the image file .IMG and use it as if we had before a physical player. In this way, you can have dozens of virtual floppy disk floppy disk and use them as real.
Both work with both Windows XP and Vista (in the latter case, VirtualFloppyDrive must run as Administrator).
