To make a new disk in DW, just right click the slot and select "Make A New Disk" OR you can just create a JVC disk in VCC and format it then mount it in DW. In HDBDOS, make sure any VHDs you use have the offset set properly and for virtual floppies, the offset is 0. In OS9 it doesn't matter.

Yes I can boot from DW in this way but I cannot acess (or at least I
don't know how) to make a floppy inside the HDB-DOS virtual drives. I
can acess the nos9 sIDE through /i0 but none of the 255 virtual
floppies.

not real sure of the process as I do not have an sIDE, but it was working for
the OP
