Installing NT4 Server into virtual server 2005 R2

I wish to install NT4 Server into Virtual Server 2005 R2 so that I can perform a upgrade on it to server 2003 as part of project to switch from NT4 to 2003 domain controllers.

I read that you cannot simply boot off the CD and have to create floppy images. Since the server does not have a floppy drive I guess I will need to make floppy images.

How can I do that?

How do you switch between floppy images on a running virtual server?

or alternatively you can just click Configure TS server underneath the Remote control window, I'd imagine you can keep the configuration settings open in another window all the time.

Thanks. I managed to get it installed without having to use boot floppies. I dont know why MS said it could not be done. Perhaps the MS Select version of the media I have is a little different.
That winimage software could well come in handy later though.
